I think this mix worked.
The interview was…interesting.
I met with 5 different people.
First, I met the guy I was in contact with, then, I met the founder of the firm (who spoke A LOT to me about his current LDR), then the next guy I met was ALLL business, then I met a guy about 2 years older than me that I spoke fairly candidly with, then I met a chill guy who said something like, “you probably don’t have anything to ask me hahahaha, all of your questions have probably been answered by now.” He was cool.
Then they gave me a test which I completely bombed (but apparently, that was expected, they said), then the last guy walked me to the door.
I was very professional, and very honest. The things that make me raise an eyebrow was the VERY “business-first, no BS” guy who kind of took me by surprise and asked some VERY hard-hitting questions that I hated answering (like my GPA, which was awful), and questions like “where do you see your life in 10 years?” He saw that I put down “conversational in Spanish,” so he IMMEDIATELY started talking to me in Spanish. THANK GOODNESS that, for an instant, I was VERY sharp and was able to reply.
The very last guy, as I was walking out the door, told me, “so you got accepted into medical school, any chance of you going back?” which I kind of read as, “dude, just go to medical school. We don’t have a place for you here.”
I sent them all “thank you” cards, and I think I’m going to send the “just business” guy an email with a follow-up question.
