Hey everyone, I've been going through the interview process with a pretty prestigious bank, Northwestern Mutual. My school (Rutgers) is a known target school for them and for other bulge brackets I’ve heard. I had my second round for 2024 recruiting at NWM yesterday and am waiting hopefully for a superday. I'm going through the process with some less prestigious banks (e.g., Lazard, Moelis, Citi) so I have a backup offer in case Northwestern Mutual decides to go another way. Has anyone gotten their superday yet for northwestern mutual yet?? I'm so nervous that I won't get it. Recruiting for NYC btw.

Hi Prospect in IB-M&A, whoops, looks like nobody chimed in here.... maybe one of these discussions below is relevant:
More suggestions...
You're welcome.
I hope this is a joke but don’t interview with northwestern mutual. It’s definitely not considered more prestigious than citi or any bank for that matter. Look up “northwestern mutual internship reddit” and you’ll understand why.
Cmon dude of course it was a joke! :)
First off, congratulations on getting a second round at a "Super Bulge Bracket". You should be extremely proud. Perhaps a LinkedIn post thanking the recruiter in great detail (500 words minimum) is in order?
For some reason, my Superday was scheduled on February 29th, and the meeting link I received brought me to the music video for Rick Astley's 1987 hit song, "Never Gonna Give You Up". Not sure what happened there, but I hope they reschedule me!
I think I might end up taking my offer at the "Super Super Bulge Bracket" of Mass Mutual instead. Anybody have any thoughts on this plan?
Naw man ING is the cream, only top tier candidates
bumppppp
bump, thinking of lateraling here or tobin & co, does anyone have any insight into my decision?
bump, i’ve been trying to land a coffee chat with some of their analysts, but i’m at a lower tier ivy and none respond to me
please dm tips on how you landed a first round they are my dream firm 😍😍😍😍😍
As far as I'm aware, I don't think NW has an IB division. I interned there last year and they had a few select finance roles, mostly in sales.
It's the only SBB (Super Bulge Bracket). Believe me, they do much more than sales. Kids at HYPSM can’t seem to land internships there, according to LinkedIn
Can confirm, just got rejected(hard target diversity,sophomore program). Asked for feedback and was told simply lack the brainpower. Was really hoping to land the summer offer so I don’t have to take the lower bulge bracket.

Diversity only? Currently non-diverse at target Northwestern Mutual feeder (think HYP) and haven’t heard back from first round, even after networking. Holding an exploding offer from P72 but waiting for NM updates before deciding.
if it comes to it, would say take your p72 offer and renege later if you are lucky enough to land NM. Definitely wouldn't renege for something like citadel or even a top SM (eg tiger cub) because you wouldn't want to burn bridges for a marginal gain in prestige, but northwest mutual is a big enough step up where I think it could be worth it
agreed, thoughts on GS TMT vs NWM JCS(Janitorial Cleaning Service). Deal flow, culture?
congrats, goodluck on the interview. technicals were tough
they really stumped me on this question so be prepared, couldnt figure out what the x value was so i got dinged.
2+x=4
Was this for NWM's QJCS (Quantitative Janitorial Cleaning Services) group?
They asked me to explain how to calculate WACC (Weighted Average Cleaning Chemicals) and I completely froze up.
Any advice for the Superday, if I am lucky enough to get it?
They asked me something about "anal proclivity". I was confused at first but then they showed me the right answer. Really thoughtful guys. Accepted the offer
Any hear back after todays 16th interview round?
supertarget + diversity?
This is so far from being funny it's actually hard to comprehend. To all the people who make posts like this, get a life and stop with the self-congratulatory satire bullshit. If you're gonna troll try to be somewhat funny or original.
Found the NM intern 🤣
