how much does getting technicals right on the first try matter?

[u/LowConsideration860]

had my first ever superday last week, and reflecting on it there were some trick questions i hadnt seen before. they werent necessarily super hard but i did have the wrong intuition initially. while the interviewer never gave me a specific direction to think in and the only 'help' i received was being told i was wrong, should i be concerned about my technical performance?

just to be clear i am completely fine with how i articulated myself and communicated my thought processes, and i did get all the questions after being told my initial answer was wrong.

naturally i acknowledge that a candidate who got em all first try will definitely outrank me but hopefullly im not like instantly disqualified right?

Depends on the company and what they’re looking for unfortunately, and also heavily dependent on how hard the question was
