Can 3 good interviews outweigh 1 mediocre and 1 bad interview?

What are my chances of hiring committee? And even if it does get past HC, will that mean a lower level?

  Yeah bro that's the plan . Only have myself to blame I guess the questions were not super difficult . Had the interview brain freeze where you sometimes miss the forest from the trees and in retrospect everything seems blindingly obvious.

It all depends on interviewer. Interviewers are human. They make mistakes. The ones you are saying good ones can be rated as no-hire and vice versa. I hate this type of interviewing. Good luck bro

I did awfully on one of my interviews and still got in. I think I knocked two out of the park, and did decently in the other two. But it's impossible to really know. And the waiting is hard as hell. Good luck!

  @Google what was your YOE and what level were you offered? Curious if they downlevelled you coz of the one bad interview.

I had same impression of my 5 interviews (3 well, 1 ok, and 1 bad), and got rejected at hiring committee. But your perception of good and my perception might different and it’s always hard to gauge as an interviewee, so best of luck.

  Hmm I thought they only send you to HC if they feel like you have a decent shot. What is the ratio?

  I don’t know the percentage but I thought sending to HC meant you did decent but not necessarily that you’re likely to get an offer. Who knows

No. Bias towards no hire

  Yeah I figured. Does anything change say if 2 are strong advocates? I had a great feeling after 2 and they were also the most senior in terms of level
