Recruiters, please share your insights :)
I had an screening interview today where I felt I answered most questions well, but there was one where my response may have come across as more hypothetical than experience-based. I'm wondering, if one or two answers don't land perfectly during an interview, does that typically impact the overall decision? How do recruiters usually make a note of that? He asked me couple of times to give that exact answer, to which I replied it was the actual work I did

If all of your answers were perfect, that would be more of a red flag than what you've shared here. We're all human and as such, an interview should be a conversation. It shouldn't be a perfectly scripted presentation with robotic delivery.

Some of the best hires I've made over the years have been people who demonstrated humanity in their interview, not perfection.

I lateraled into a niche practice group in Sept 2021. I also have a 1 year old and have been mostly remote since I started - but have been keeping busy tracking towards 2400-2500 hours. That said getting to know people only remote has been kind of awkward at times (email only can be tough to decipher) although as a working mom the pros vastly outweigh the cons. Yesterday my main partner asked me to come in Thursday bc he will be there and set a time to meet. Is this good/bad?? kind of nervous!
