[QUOTE="Andrei Radu, post: 220887, member: 36777"] I think you should still submit it. You would be surprised how many times people progressed past a VI they really thought had gone horrendously - particularly if only one answer was bad, recruiters can sometimes overlook it and play it down to nerves and an awkward format if you otherwise showed yourself as a promising candidate. Even if you do not progress, it is very unlikely that the firm would make note of a bad performance and hold it against you; I have never heard of this happening at the VI stage. If anything, not submitting it could look worse, as the firm may think you did not even bother to engage with an opportunity many other candidates would have wanted; and a perceived lack of interest could look a lot worse than a somewhat nervous performance. Simply put, I think this is a situation where there is a lot of upside to submitting and a non-existent/minimal downside, so I would advise you to submit it. [/QUOTE]
