BTIG Superday

Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some insights on what to expect during a superday, especially when meeting with MDs:

1. Interview Focus:

   • Behavioral Questions: Expect a significant portion of the interview to be behavioral. MDs will likely ask about your story, strengths, weaknesses, and experiences to determine if you are a good fit for the team.
   • Technical Knowledge: While some firms may not heavily focus on technical questions, it's still crucial to have a solid understanding of basic financial concepts such as DCF, PE ratio, and bond price vs yield.

2. Preparation Tips:

   • Know Your Resume: Be prepared to discuss any internships, projects, and clubs you have listed on your resume in detail.
   • Firm Knowledge: Research the firm thoroughly. Understand its recent deals, culture, and any significant news. People in finance often identify strongly with their firm, so showing that you know and respect the firm can make a positive impression.
   • Sell Yourself: Be ready to articulate why you are a good fit for the firm and the role. Have a few interesting stories about past achievements, problems you solved, and people you helped.

3. Interview Structure:

   • Multiple Interviews: You will likely have several interviews, each focusing on different aspects such as technical skills, behavioral fit, and situational judgment.
   • Situational Questions: Be prepared for situational questions that test your problem-solving and strategic thinking abilities. For example, how you would handle a mistake in a presentation or manage multiple tasks at once.

4. General Advice:

   • Be Engaging: Show that you are not only smart but also someone they would enjoy working with for long hours.
   • Ask Good Questions: Have insightful questions ready for your interviewers. This shows your genuine interest in the role and the firm.

Good luck with your BTIG superday!
