Description
In this episode of Interview Prep with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna break down one of the trickiest behavioral questions: 'Tell me about a time you had to make a quick decision under pressure.' They walk through a real candidate's story from a fintech startup that had to choose between launching a buggy feature on time or delaying for quality. Lucas shares the STAR method framework tailored for speed, while Luna offers a counter-framework for when 'quick' isn't the right answer. You'll learn how to structure a response that shows judgment, not just speed—and how to avoid the trap of sounding reckless. Perfect for anyone preparing for consulting, tech, or operations interviews.
