I think they usually hold several superdays, each with hundreds of candidates.
Banks do have multiple Superdays throughout the recruiting cycle. Some are specially designed for only one school (AKA the NYU Superday at BAML). I have been to a few Superdays for banking and S&T and there are two kinds. There is the group Superday where they take about 12-24 candidates and split them off into different groups and have them interview different groups of interviewers (there might be 2 groups of candidates and 2 separate interviewer groups). Once they are split up, the top 2 or 3 candidates from each group depending on how qualified some of the candidates are and if they were liked are given offers (figure the offer rate is 15-20% on a Superday like this).
There is another type of Superday, and this might be what Patrick was talking about where the bank has a universal Supeday where candidates for S&T, CM, IBD (basically anything in IB) are interviewed throughout the day. Bank of America does this format (their large Superday was Feb 26th last year), but even then I don't think I saw more than 100 or so name tags.
My superday had about 50 candidates.
Final Round Interviews on Friday - How many competitors? (Originally Posted: 10/30/2012)
I have upcoming final round interviews with a BB this Friday, considering it is not going to be postponed due to Sandy. Does anyone with experience know approximately how many people I'm competing with in final round interviews?
What does the candidate pool look like in final round interviews?
Thanks.
What job? Completely depends on that and how many openings there are
Depends on the bank. It won't be too ridiculous since a lot of kids have already accepted offers already. Just focus on what you can control and it'll be fine.
14 for mine. This was interviewing for 3 separate groups, so guessing maybe 3-4 spots? That might have been particularly competitive, but rule of thumb is that SA is easier than FT.
