So I had this interview round at S& with a very senior director, Now where I really struggled and worry was that there were lot of arguments between us in a approach and I stuck to it to the very end and changed only at the last. Do folks think this was a stress interview or have I literally blown my chances off here..haven’t experienced this in other rounds where interviewers are generally more accommodating and help u solve the case 😊

If you were defending a point that was worth defending, that’s a good sign and a positive when I’m interviewing. But if you’re blindly defending and THEN change your mind, that’s not the best approach. Imagine if you did that with a client...? But hey, we’re not privy to the actual conversation, so try not to overthink it until you hear back. Best of luck in the process!

One of the best replies :) the problem is there is always a thin line between a stress interview and to actually judge whether u were acting foolish...thanks for the advice

If you changed at the last and it was cos you were wrong all along, you’ve probably blown it. Nobody has time to deal with a junior who sticks with their guns when proven wrong

Sorry

Yeah, seems like :(

If you had multiple 'arguments' during your interview that is not a good sign..

I just started looking for a job and made some profiles on various job boards. I'm getting a lot of emails from recruiters that look like this. Whenever I talk to them on the phone it's very hard to hear them and the whole thing just seems a bit fishy. They ask for my DOB, and one asked if I would sign something so they could market my profile. Is this a scam?
I've censored names, addresses, and phone numbers.
