Investment Banking SA Superday Prep

I'm a sophomore that got invited to my first super day with an UMM bank. I'm from a non target so haven't had a lot of exposure to interview processes. I had two rounds already, mostly behavioral and some decent technicals. How should I approach preparing for a super day as opposed to first rounds? Is there even a difference?

Just be yourself. To get to the superday, they obviously see you as a quality candidate. Assuming you’ve been prepping for a while, there shouldn’t be any CRAZY curve ball questions that will completely stump you.

Technical Tips/Questions:
- I would brush up on a detailed overview on the Sell-Side M&A process
- “Two buyers offer the same exact LOI, how would you distinguish them/ what are your next steps?”
- I would make sure to have a detailed overview of a recent transaction the firm has completed (buy side investment thesis, what the company does, etc.)
- “Walk me from revenue to free cash flow
- “How does an increase of $10 of PIK Interest flow through the 3 statements?”
- “assuming a 30% tax rate, walk me through a $120 increase in depreciation”
