Based on the most helpful WSO content, here's what you need to know about Société Générale's Summer Analyst (SA) recruitment process:

1. General Timeline:

   • Applications typically open at the end of July and close by early October.
   • First-round phone interviews usually begin in early to mid-October.
   • Superdays (in-person or virtual interviews) are conducted in mid to late October.
   • The program itself starts in early June of the following year.

2. First-Round Interviews:

   • These are often phone screens conducted by HR.
   • Expect a mix of behavioral and technical questions. For example:
     • Behavioral: "Walk me through your resume," or "Why Société Générale?"
     • Technical: Basic finance concepts, valuation methods, or market-related questions.

3. Superday Format:

   • Typically involves three interviews in a speed networking format.
   • These interviews may include a mix of technical, behavioral, and situational questions.

If you're preparing for the first round, focus on: - Having clear, concise answers to common behavioral questions. - Brushing up on technical knowledge, especially valuation and market trends. - Being ready to discuss your interest in Société Générale and how your skills align with their program.

Good luck! Let me know if you need more specific prep tips.
