Are superdays still in-person?
Planning to recruit into an IB, and not sure whether I should buy a padfolio already, or if they’ve moved on from in person interviews ever since Covid?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, superdays have largely returned to in-person formats post-COVID, though there may still be some variation depending on the bank and group. For example, some banks have embraced virtual recruiting for its convenience, but others have reverted to traditional in-person superdays.
If you're planning to recruit into investment banking, it’s a good idea to prepare for both scenarios. Buying a padfolio is a smart move regardless, as it’s a professional accessory that can be useful for in-person interviews or even virtual ones to keep your notes organized.
