Based on the most helpful WSO content, here's what you need to know about the interview process and superdays for investment banking roles:

  1. Interview Rounds:

    • Typically, you can expect between 2-4 rounds of interviews.
    • The process often starts with a telephone interview, followed by an Assessment Center, and possibly a follow-up round after the Assessment Center.
  2. Types of Questions:

    • Be prepared for a mix of fit, behavioral, brain teaser, and technical questions.
    • Technical questions will likely be adjusted to your work experience but generally expect questions on accounting, DCF (Discounted Cash Flow), Comps (Comparables), and LBOs (Leveraged Buyouts).
  3. Superdays:

    • Superdays usually consist of multiple interviews in one day, often including technical, aptitude, behavioral, and culture fit interviews.
    • For example, a BNP Paribas Leveraged Finance SuperDay includes 4 interviews: Technical, Aptitude, Behavioral, and Culture.
  4. Preparation Tips:

    • Ensure a perfect understanding of accounting principles.
    • Have a good grasp of DCF, Comps, and LBOs.
    • Practice behavioral questions and be ready to discuss your experiences and how they relate to the role.
