what was the event you are referencing, and what office are you recruiting for

Anyone know anything about when Super Days will be held for the program participants?
They started even earlier; Interviewing for 2nd round for the NY branch
Havent heard back after the first round, have you?
Passed the initial phone screening, idk if this is first or second round, but calling with the associate later today.
Looks like they are moving very fast and aggressive again. Looking to pick up some top talent and really push up. Screens were being done around this time last year with superdays in late April.
Only diversity at this time last year. I interviewed in MSP in at the end of July. Same for a friend in NYC. They went through mid-august last year
Array
Lol this is definitely not true. I'm white and had an offer late April. Screens during exactly this time last year.
Had my first round a couple weeks back, super day next week
Target?
No
what division/office?
NYC
What was the super day like.. mostly behavioral/fit and one round of technical? Any tips?
Had my first round a couple weeks ago, Superday this week. Wondering how heavy the technicals will be for program participants.
Good Luck!
How did it go? What did you get asked?
Wondering the same, anyone have an idea
Wow, they're moving fast!
Anybody else have a superday?
Had one last Wednesday.
Did you hear back?
Does anybody know if Boston office is moving as fast as NYC?
just got an offer!
When was your interview?
congrats! which location?
how technical was the superday?
Did you attend the diversity program?
Anyone else not receive anything back yet? I got an associate to push my resume to recruiter but haven't heard anything yet. Non target
My superday had no technicals, I was suprised. The interviews were very conversational and didn't ask any technicals or markets questions.
What office? and IB?
NYC office. IB program. I dont understand under what basis they are going to give offers. @target.
Anyone hear back after HR sent the email about delaying offers?
No I haven't, wondering how long they will be delaying offers for
i didn't get an email saying that..i haven't heard anything at all. what exactly did yours say?
They sent the email to anyone who participated in the Career Exploration Program, I think. It was about slowing down the recruiting process and delaying offers for a while. I did hear that some people from NY got rejected recently. Not sure how long they are delaying for though
oh okay thank you! did the people who got rejected from NY already have a superday? do you think they'll still take interns like normal in the summer of 2021 or do you think that could change?
I also talked to an analyst recently who said they're pushing things back and hoping to do the social things in the summer. From what he told me, it sounded like they were against having the superdays be virtual but it seems like some people here already had virtual superdays so idk
do you think they are still going to take interns as normal, or do you think this could affect their entire summer program for 2021?
Yeah, in the email, it said they're committed to taking summer analysts for 2021. I'm assuming they're gonna have a smaller analyst class. And yeah, they're doing virtual superdays, I had mine 2ish weeks ago
thank you so much for the info! any chance you could please copy and paste what your email said here? i didn't get one and am trying to get a feel for exactly what they are saying in it
Anything specific to note from the superday? Mix of technicals vs. behaviors/fit?
Bump
Superday on monday NYC office
is it a virtual superday?
yup
how was it?
Nothing too unexpected, typical superday.
Superday on Wed for NYC, seems like they are very scattered in how they're proceeding.
Anyone have any updates? Offers or rejections?
Still haven't heard anything
Same
Any updates on last weeks super days?
Still haven't heard anything
which office were superdays for?
Any updates on the day? Offers/rejections?
HR said by the end of the week
are you guys getting interviews for diversity? i thought HR say that the deadline for apps got pushed to may 1 so idk how people are getting interviewed...?
Recruiting so far has been primarily for those that went to the program held in Minneapolis in March.
HR mentioned they were still compiling. Not sure what that means.
probs just waiting it out for a bit
It's probably just taking them longer since everyone is doing everything remote. Like gathering everyone's comments and making decisions etc is prob harder when everyone's home and can't just meet in a room right after the Superday to discuss. I wouldn't worry about it though
any dates on when to hear back?
no clue
any new updates?
bump
anyone know if the process is over for NYC office? was thinking about reaching out to alum from my target for informational calls, but if it's completely over no point I guess
they've only done diversity so far I think
I know the MN office is not kicking off the bulk of recruiting until June/July. Phone Screen/first round call in early June with a networking even in June (don't know if this will happen virtually or what the deal is now) then superdays if you get invite to networking invite.
This is typically the structure, but not sure how everything works now
any ideas on NYC? Assuming it will be the same??
I asked HR earlier this week and they said that they would have "more information" by the end of the week.
ha, they said that last week
Any update?
Hear anything?
Still no updates
Anyone hear anything? Been a while
Bump
bump
Anyone know when non-diversity NYC is starting?
I am interviewing SA 2021 candidates end of this week.
which office? Target or non target?
Got email asking to set up interview for later this week or early next week
which office? Are you target or non target?
non target, for MN office
Has anyone gotten offers from superdays early late april/early may?
they actually haven't gotten back to you either way since April? insane
Yep.. don't know what HR is doing.
Has anyone heard anything from the Chicago office about setting up an interview? I know they want to do phone interviews in June with potential superdays in July - August.
has NY started interviewing?
also wondering, was told by contact that my resume was pushed but haven't heard anything
alright thanks for the update, will chime in again once i hear
bump
Haven't heard anything. All I got was "planning on first rounds in June".
I heard there were some issues? Anyone else???
Last I heard from HR, "we're still determining our hiring needs for 2021 SA"
attended diversity program, got superday offer back in march, followed up 2x with recruiter, then got an email a few days ago saying they can no longer consider me /:
wait so did you ever actually have the superday? or did they say they can no longer consider you before you had the superday?
prob got superday invitation and they just pulled it back
nope, never got to actually interview... from what i heard, they don't usually do this
Wtf, did they give you a reason?
i wish they gave me a reason lol.. probably reduced capacity due to covid though.
so nyc first rounds are done?
I spoke with an analyst in the Financial Sponsors group today and he said that they were done with 2021.
Any news on SF first rounds? Have done informal informationals but no interview yet

I'm in the same boat as you - reached out and talked to people, no updates on process
Had first round interview last week with the SF office. Was invited to Superday for mid-July
Any news on Boston?
Had a first round for Chicago last Friday.
what were some of the interview questions they asked? more technical or behavioral?
Any updates?
Have nyc interviews started? Haven't heard anything for a few weeks now
They're probably just focusing on onboarding 2020 SAs at the moment. 2020 SAs start next Monday. They're likely pushing back superdays till end of July like last year.
Are NYC interviews for First Round Out?
Just got an invite for first round yesterday - they were open on location preference and I picked NYC.
Are note invites still coming?
More***
Any more first-round invites for MN to still be given out or are they done?
Also got an invite for first round for this coming week. They asked for top location between NY, SF, MN, and Chicago
Any updates on Superdays? Haven't heard anything post first round interview? Specifically recruiting for Chicago
Any updates from those that have already supered?
Just received an email from one of my interviewers in the Boston office -- he said that he does not believe Boston will be taking any 2021 interns. Not sure what this means for the other offices tho.
What a shit show. So much for growing the tech practice in Boston.
Wait so Boston gave you an interview and then decided not to take any interns???
Just to answer your initial question, I finished the Superday and everything. I've been keeping in touch with my interviewers and one of them just recently broke the news to me :/
Note, I haven't confirmed with HR yet. So far, I've only heard from the one Tech IB Associate in Boston. Wish the Recruiting Team could've been a bit more transparent with us.
But that's still kinda clownish on their end, who gives people interviews and then decides not to take any interns
Agreed.. its too bad.
Anyone hear back about the next NYC Superday ?
Has anyone heard back after the first rounds on June 29 and 30?
.
Just got NYC Superday
^Me too. Anyone have insight on which groups are taking interns/how many?
I was told by my interviewer that Healthcare services and Biopharma were picking up interns but after the Boston team cut all interns, I'd try to be more generalist in the interview and then leave it up to them to place you later
When did you guys have your SDs and how quickly did you hear back?
Yup. recieved same day offer
Congrats! Do you know how many SF usually takes? and do you go to a West Coast school?
Has anyone heard back from the NY Super Day on July 9?
Was your interview more behavioral or technical? How much of it was healthcare focused?
Did anyone hear back from the SF Superday on 7/21?
Yes, offers went out at night
How long do you have to accept/reject the offer?
Are they still recruting? I never heard back from my SD.
For those that did their NYC Superday, how much of it was Healthcare focused vs generalistic?
^is anyone able to share what NYC superdays were like?
Sure, went through diversity process and got ghosted (thx Piper for the free trip to Minnesota??).
Interviewers were almost all HC/Bio type. Was told that if I were to show interest in HC, might've gotten more HC specific questions. Wasn't that technical, and rather behavioral heavy. Seniors were boasting about how their HC dealflow had increased since COVID most of my interviews lol.
Just received invitation for a virtual superday with the MN office. My first round had 0 technicals. Any insight on what to expect out of a SD?
^
What did it end up being like?
Very solid shop with great exit oops
Solid shop. Not a BB tho.
Anyone else have the NYC superday yesterday? Haven't heard back yet
Yeah I heard back Thursday
When did you hear back on Thursday?
Anyone else hear back from their NYC superday?

Anyone hear back from NYC Super?
Did MN super last year:
Walk me through PnL on a detailed level In 3 sentences tell me why I should hire you Walk me through dcf Revenue to FCF
I'll try and comment more if I can remember. No hard technicals and i suck at technicals
Thank you! If you remember anything else that'd be awesome. Did you get any brain teasers jw?
Nah. The only other one (non-technical) that I can remember is what do you do for fun? easy superday with limited technicals
Just got the call extending an offer for NYC after Superday some time back
have all first rounds for piper been sent out for NYC IB? had a resume push but haven't heard anything
did u get a first round?
Haven't heard anything either... had resume pushes from 3 ppl (2 VPs), literally haven't had a first round
Anyone hear back yet from today's MN Super? Posting this early ik
Were you interviewing as part of the Career Exploration Program?
No it was for IB
Still haven't heard anything from MN superday Wednesday.
Supposed to be EOW this coming week.
