Evercore M&A Superday
Got a superday coming up for M&A and don't know what to expect. Anyone know if it is highly technical or behavioral? Any case study? Appreciate the insights/suggestions.

Is this for New York? When did you hear back for the superday / when were your first rounds? Congrats!
bumping this... also have one coming up and not sure what to expect. Don't think there's a case study but heard mix of technical and behavioral
When did you hear back for the superday and when were your first interviews?
I had superday with Menlo earlier this month so I don't know if it's the same but it was half and half behavioral and technical. I found the technicals to be easier than in the first round but they were much more random as in not things you would find in the guides. The behaviorals were also not cliche and tough imo
Hey man, mind if I PM you?
.
I have a Superday at MP coming up and would greatly appreciate any insight - can you please PM me? I have databases to offer for other banks to help you out as well!

"Are you familiar with Mid-year discounting?"
LOL I got asked that...
What did they ask about it? Did they mix in stub period with it or did they just want you to define mid year discounting?
Same boat here. Any advice?
Suggest answer to mid-year discounting: you should first pause, lean back ever so slightly, start nodding your head, just barley almost crack a grin, but quickly suppress it into a pout/grimace-type lip movement as you now slowly lean forward, continue to nod head. This makes you appear confident in your understanding while also humble and thoughtful in your response. Then you deliver, "Yes. Once a year, on the last day of June, Costco discounts every item in store 50%" This should lead to a no-further-questions-your-honor kinda moment.
Any idea if Evercore and EBs in general ask brainteasers? It doesn't seem v frequent based on interviews in the database and general experience- seems like they just hone in way more on accounting/finance.
Depends on the EB. It's common to be asked to multiply weird numbers out loud, I know a few banks asked the ball weighing question last year, the 4 gallon water one is common in interviews... I was asked a brainteaser recently in my 1st round at Evercore MP.
another common one is the clock angle question, been asked that a couple of times now
what was the brainteaser?
Centerview in their superdays has a whole interview (our of 5) dedicated to brainteasers etc
lol really
One of my interviewers asked me an extremely random brain teaser.
Was this for evercore?
mind sharing it?
Had a friend who had their superday today. Was wondering how it went for anyone else who had it today.
Thought it went alright... more technical than i expected. How did your friend say it went? Was his/hers really tecnical as well?
The contrary actually. Very resume based, very conversational. One room's conversation was entirely about a deal and an industry interest in fact. Did you have to deal with standard technicals or was it the typical off the guide M&A and accounting stuff.
Ah damn- that's great, though. I think mine was really similar to my first two rounds which were really abstract technicals. I assume you were well prepared w/ the deal and industry stuff?
Have you heard back yet?
Hey fellow monkeys, I haven’t heard back and it’s been about a week so I’m gonna call it in. Prob got rejected and I’m feeling pretty trash rip. Hope you guys have better luck, much love
Were your interviewers junior or senoir bankers?
Mixture
Did you have an interview that was only technical?
Anyone have a superday today? Just had mine. For some color for others, some people said the superdays for them were very conversational and resume-based. While this was true to an extent, I would also continue to prepare technicals, as most interviews still had some tough technical questions mixed in.
On another note- anyone know how long it typically takes to hear back?
Which office was this for?
NYC M&A
When should we expect to hear back from superdays today?
Final interviewer told me to expect them today evening at the earliest
Has anyone heard back from Friday's superday?
Just heard back today! For NYC M&A, superday on the 8th
Has anyone heard back from M&A superday that happened yesterday?
Got an offer this morning for my superday that happened yesterday (Thursday).
Congrats! NYC?
Anyone else heard back from M&A superdays this week
