Hello, ive had an interview with a senior partner yesterday, the fit and case were very good, but one thing happened when I asked him the questions in the final 5 minutes.
the question was basically: sometimes you work with super intelligent people, and even say wow they’re so smart, even more than me. so how do you manage peoople like this? people who you consider are super smart and you believe are smarter than you.
he was a bit stunned and said i dont understand what you mean by the question, and dont you think its a bit odd? And he explained we dont evaluate people by how smart you are and explained how the question should have been asked.
i directly apologized to him, and explained to him that i didnt mean anything bad and should have said the question in different, and i actually explained to him why i asked this question from a personal experience with our family business. he said dont worry it’s okay and then we finished the interview (And apologized to him again before we finished)
will this have any effect on my outcome? i have asked the SAME question to a senior partner last time i applied and he loved the question, dont know why this happened tbh. what do u guys think? Thank you!
