Hello,
Recently, I had a first-round interview which was purely behavioral. I feel like I answered every question well, but at the end they asked me why I wanted to enter that specific product group at the company. I gave kind of a BS answer and I think it showed. Is it over for me or is there still a chance I might progress through the process?
Thank you for your help.

From my experience it depends because they grade on a curve based on how everyone else did. I forgot the formula on how to calculate beta and they still moved me forward. But I also smashed every other technical question so they let it slide.
I’m not gonna sugarcoat it—while messing up a single question or two can sometimes turn out fine, you missed what appears to be a particularly important behavioral question. I wouldn’t hold out much hope but miracles can happen.
