I just finished my superday today with a MM bank. How long does it usually take to get an offer? Just curious. A friend of mine received his offer 1 hour after his superday, but that was a BB firm.





My BB told me I had landed an
My BB told me I had landed an offer abou 1h later, as I was boarding the airplane.
There's no point asking this
There's no point asking this kind of question. It really varies dude, so chill.
Yeah, I really should relax.
Yeah, I really should relax. By the way, is the Superday really about them liking you or about your experiences, strengths, etc? I had great conversations with all my interviewers, and some didn't even bother to ask me why investment banking, or walk me through your resume. I think that's why I'm freaking out. I didn't really sell myself, but rather tried to connect and have a good conversation with the interviewer.
I got mine 8 hours later, but
I got mine 8 hours later, but the same bank called a friend as he was boarding the plane 3 hours after. But it all depends, so don't worry. Just start thinking about your next move.

I know two people who already received phone calls today. Does this mean I'm dinged? Or is there a chance I may still get a call? How does the process even work?
Right after the superday
Right after the superday ends, everyone in the group will typically gather in the conference room and go over the candidates. They will come to a consensus on top picks and call them to extend offers that same day. After that, it varies. If all the top picks accept right away (rare), once all the paperwork comes in they'll start dinging people (they may even ding the lower performers right away). For the good performers who weren't top picks, they will get offers if and when one of the top picks declines. This may take several days or even a couple of weeks, since the top pick may have other interviews coming up or may be waiting to hear from someone else, or just may need time to decide.
Wall Street leaders now understand that they made a mistake, one born of their innocent and trusting nature. They trusted ordinary Americans to behave more responsibly than they themselves ever would, and these ordinary Americans betrayed their trust.
So, is it still possible to
So, is it still possible to get an offer a few days later? One of my friends got a call saying he's an alternate. I have a feeling I got dinged.
OMG that means I'm a top
OMG that means I'm a top pick. How awesome am I?
If you don't get a call
If you don't get a call within max 1 hour of the final round you are rejected..

This is straight up wrong, as is much of the information you read on this site posted by college kids. Yes, top picks get notified first, but if you are really worried just email hr. They are willing to update you on your status.

I think I'm going to wait a few days and then maybe email a banker to see whats up. Damnit, I was really banking on this SA position too. so pissed.
There is more of a "time
There is more of a "time maximum" than a specific notification period that you should be looking for. I've heard everything from offers being extended an hour later to 5 days later. I'd say that the general "rule-of-thumb" most likely hearing period is from 3hrs to 3 days in time. If you are waiting more than 5 business days, you are either on hold and were on the bottom of their bubble list... or you are axed.

Alright thanks. So far, it's
Alright thanks. So far, it's only been the weekend, so no business days. Hopefully I haven't been axed. Thanks for the info.
I got my FT offer less than
I got my FT offer less than an hour after my interviews but my SA offer came nearly 6 days after the final rounds, so it varies from bank to bank. You haven't been rejected until they actually tell you so, keep your fingers crossed!
Thanks man! I'm really hoping
Thanks man! I'm really hoping dude!
