I just had my IB superday today for MS NY. Does anyone know when you should hear back? I feel like it went pretty well but one of my interviewers was late so I had a short behaviorals section.

Based on the most helpful WSO content, the timeline for hearing back after a superday can vary significantly among different banks and even different divisions within the same bank. However, it's common for candidates to receive feedback within a few days to a week after their superday. Given your situation with Morgan Stanley in New York, it's reasonable to expect a similar timeframe.
The fact that one of your interviewers was late and consequently shortened your behavioral section shouldn't be a cause for concern. These situations are typically out of the candidate's control, and interviewers are aware of that. They likely adjusted their assessment accordingly.
If you haven't heard back within a week, it might be a good idea to follow up with HR to express your continued interest and inquire about any updates. Remember, persistence and professionalism can make a positive impression. Keep an eye on your email and phone, and best of luck!
