Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some general tips and advice for tackling superday interviews, including case studies and technical questions:

General Superday Preparation:

1. Technical Knowledge:

   • Ensure you have a solid understanding of basic finance concepts such as DCF, PE ratio, and bond price vs yield.
   • Review the classic IB technicals, as they are often relevant across different roles.

2. Firm-Specific Knowledge:

   • Research the firm thoroughly. Know the recent news, deals, and any significant achievements of Deutsche Bank.
   • Understand the firm's culture and values, as this can help you tailor your responses and show that you are a good fit.

3. Behavioral Questions:

   • Prepare to discuss your background, experiences, and why you are interested in the FIC role at Deutsche Bank.
   • Have a few interesting stories ready about past problems you solved or people you helped, as these can be useful for behavioral questions.

Case Study Preparation:

   • Be ready to defend your analysis and recommendations. Interviewers may play devil's advocate to test your reasoning and confidence.
   • Practice structuring your thoughts clearly and logically.

2. Ask Questions:

Technical Questions:

1. Be Prepared for Variability:

   • Be adaptable and ready to discuss a range of topics.

2. Informational Interviews:

   • Conduct informational interviews with current analysts or professionals in the field to get a sense of the types of technical questions that might be asked.

Additional Tips:

• Timing: If you have the option, try to schedule your interview earlier rather than later, as going early is generally preferred.
• Practice: Mock interviews and case study practice can be very beneficial.
