Skipping First Round & Straight to Superday

Hello,

Is it normal/common to be invited directly to a superday at a BB (coming from a non-target for this firm)?

Does it mean anything in terms of the odds of winning an offer going into the superday?
Would they try to grill on technicals more since I skipped the first round?

Thank you

 

I've had it happen before when coming from a target. For me, it was a bad thing, as they were very skeptical of me and I got grilled on whether I was actually interested in the firm or not. I got the offer, but only after they spent a lot of time deliberating and I had already accepted at another firm.

 

I'd preferably talk about the people I've talked to at the firm, the firm's strengths, and any detail I can give on why that office/location. Is that how you went about it?

yeah happened to me once too .. emailed generic careers email address. got email back from hr person asking me to call her. called her, and she said to email her my resume and cover letter ....got superday invite after 5 days no networking, no resume forwwarding etc. legit MM bank (BMO capital btw)

just be thankful for ur luck man

just curious, which location? east or west coast and in US? also, was this for just this past SA or FT?

 

Awesome, thanks guys.

I imagined it has something to do with my networking, I knew that a few guys had forwarded my resume, I just wanted to see how common this was.
