SMBC CIB SPD - What to Expect?
Received an SMBC CIB NYC superday for this week. I’ve done some non-IB spds, so not sure what to expect. I’ve also read that SMBC is lighter on technicals, but not sure. Any guidance would be much appreciated!

Career Resources
Based on the most helpful WSO content, while there isn't specific information about SMBC CIB superdays in the provided context, here are some general insights from similar superday experiences:
Structure: Superdays typically consist of multiple interviews, often 2-on-1 or 1-on-1 formats. For example, Goldman Sachs IBD superdays are known to have three 2-on-1 interviews lasting 1.5-2 hours. SMBC may follow a similar structure.
Behavioral Focus: Many banks, including Goldman Sachs and others, emphasize behavioral questions during superdays. Be prepared to discuss teamwork, leadership, and how you handle challenges, as cultural fit is often a priority.
Technical Questions: While some banks are lighter on technicals, it's always wise to prepare for basic financial concepts, valuation methods, and market-related questions. For instance, JPMorgan superdays include a mix of behavioral and technical questions, with technicals varying in difficulty.
Preparation Tips:
Unique Aspects: If SMBC has a reputation for being lighter on technicals, they may place more emphasis on your ability to communicate effectively, demonstrate interest in the firm, and align with their culture.
Good luck with your superday!
