Summer Analyst - Generalist IB

Cold-applied for the Chicago office, no networking. They offered me a first round interview about a month later. Pretty standard first round with an associate, about half behaviorals and half techs. Behaviorals were TMAY, why IB/WB specifically, something not on your resume. Techs were about the LBO, which I messed up a bit but he was super kind and tried to walk me through it until I got it right. Got a invite to the Superday about two hours after the first-round. Superday consisted of four 30 min one-on-one interviews. One was on markets, where they asked abt an industry I was interested in, a company in that industry and what kind of differentiates them but also what the risks are. The next was all behaviorals, have your stories ready but they also ask some "what would you do" questions where like another analyst puts wrong numbers in a pitchbook the night before a presentation and your MD tells you that some of the numbers are probably wrong. After that was kind of a case study about a plant-based meat company, kind of consulting focused but they had a question abt precedent transactions in there. Finally was the paper LBO which they give to you in parts and in a way that kind of makes you think about it. All my interviewers were super nice people and incredibly chill, all my interviews started with TMAY and the LBO guy asked me about my hobbies after I finished. Really liked the people I talked to and I got a call from one of my interviewers with the offer about two hours after the Superday. Overall great vibes and positive experience.
