Had a superday on Thursday for a bulge bracket in SF and am waiting to hear back. What is the latest I should expect to hear back if I got an offer? Thank you!

Relax, don't freak out at all. Some larger banks with smaller west coast offices just naturally have a longer process and its is almost "normal" for them to take longer simply because they can't bring in all candidates at the same time.
Make sure you have send them a thank you note and make sure to communicate with them that you would accept the offer, if given, as that can make a difference in the decision making process (if you actually would accept it).
Good luck, stay cool
Usually day of or next day. Worst case scenario within the week.

Is this for Citi?
Has anyone heard back yet?
Superday Offers (Originally Posted: 11/15/2017)
Do calls extending offers usually happen all at once or do BB's usually make calls continuously 48 hours post-superday?
for example I did my superday yesterday and if another candidate got a call this afternoon am I likely dinged or is there still a chance I could get a call tomorrow?
Most likely dinged however you could hear a call down the line if their top candidates don't take it
Wondering the same thing and if I'm understanding you firms usually do call top candidates all at once?
When I had a summer analyst superday a couple years back at a large bank I got on my flight about ~4 hours after interviews finished and another candidate asked me if I got an offer (since he did) :-(. I was rejected over a week later.
As Coolkid said, the reason they don't reject you outright is because those first choice people could decline and open up slots.
1-2 business days
Hearing back from superday (Originally Posted: 01/08/2015)
Has anyone heard back from The sales and trading Citi nyc superday?
Yes heard back earlier tonight, best of luck.
Sounds like they extended an offer to you. Just curious did you hear back from email or via the phone.
Any thoughts on the interview? have one soon.
@"Taroon007" it was by phone.
@"Ed210" Know your resume cold, seems very obvious but they will ask questions about it that you necessarily wouldn't have thought of to test if anything on it is BS. Just be very candid, that will go a long way. Nothing too abstract. Good luck!
Staggered Superday Offers (Originally Posted: 12/03/2012)
So I'm a bit nervous because I just finished my superday (friday) in NYC for an S&T position. I didn't even have to go through a first round, and thought I nailed the four interviews. I got all the brainteasers and was able to elaborate on every other question.
Today, I heard from a friend who went through the same superday that she got a call and the offer. Should I be concerned, or only after a few more days? I'm the type of paranoid person who is bad at getting schoolwork done when I have something like this on my mind. She was part of a group that interviewed earlier in the day than did my group.
Do banks ever stagger their calls or am I likely stuck in the wait-list zone?
Yea most banks typically delay rejections as much as possible in order to give those with offers a choice. Therefore, if someone with an offer rejects, they go down the list. It really depends on how many people interviewed for it. If only a few then you might be out of luck. If there were a lot of candidates, then it will take them awhile to let everyone know.
did you get it?
Time frame for the offer (Originally Posted: 09/29/2009)
How long do you usually have to wait for the answer since the super day? and what is the longest anyone has waited and actually got an offer? let's say you had a superday this past saturday..it's already tuesday..is it already time to worry or there is still hope?
Last year for SA I usually heard within 1-4 days either way. Some banks just take longer. I wouldn't take it necessarily as a bad sign, but if you know other people who interviewed for the same position heard back already, its probably not a great sign.
What are possibly the reasons for the delay? Can somebody from the inside give me an input..much appreciated
Sometimes banks will have multiple super days and will wait until after they have finished more than one to give offers. If you got the interview through your career center, the head of your recruiting program usually will tell you right away if you were dinged.
Sometimes you're on an internal waitlist, so they wait to see if people turn it down
so this is completely unrelated, but your name is perfect - its just the right length where it says "hardworkinganal."
perfect for the IB world, if you ask me...
Offer timeline... (Originally Posted: 09/29/2011)
I recently had a second-round interview with Greenhill's energy group in Houston for an Associate position (they are only hiring 1 Associate this year). At the interview I met with 2 MD's for about an hour and a half. Everything went great and I felt pretty good about my chances when all was said and done. Prior to leaving the interview a VP told me that they are interviewing 4 other candidates from various other schools and I was on a pretty short list (was this a nice way of saying, "Hey, we liked you, but we're still going to look at other people?"). He said they would be getting back to me after all candidates had been evaluated. My question is, when is an appropriate time to ping them and both reiterate my interest and get a 'status update'? I know there's nothing I can say or do at this point to change/better my chances, but I really hate the waiting game. I know hiring a new Associate is pretty low on their priority list, so I was thinking of talking to them next Friday if I still hadn't heard anything. Is that enough time?
FWIW - I'm currently an MBA student at a target school applying for only Associate positions this recruiting season. Thanks!
So....how long has it been since you interviewed?
