Virtual Super Day

its literally the same thing except u don't have to wear pants or awkwardly ask for a business card

look into the camera and dont act awkward or unnatural (harder since its virtual, but still)

don't wear pants and take the sleds off

Had one that was 3 consecutive phone calls with MDs (1.5hrs total). Much easier than the in-person interviews IMO

echo on the easier than in person part
felt less nerves that's associated with going to the actual firm... for example I typically get the sweaty palms etc when I'm sitting in an interview room, across the table. Was more at ease while being in my own space - that being said don't let that fact prevent you from bringing your A game.

and also did it with no pants

What is the length of these superdays?

Mine have been the same length/format as in-person superdays would have been. It seems like the firms are trying to make it as similar to in-office as possible.

In my experience, virtual makes it harder to connect with the interviewer, so you need to work harder to establish those connections and show your enthusiasm for the position. I also had notes laid out on the desk next to me lol, which I think is fine as long as you're still maintaining eye contact and not blatantly staring at a piece of paper.

Conversations almost felt friendlier because everyone was at home in casual clothes. Definitely less formal conversations as well. Take a video of yourself answering some interview questions to see how you look from the other side.

Virtual process was pretty chill.

My friend said he unplugged his headphones and they just called him on his phone because they thought the audio wasn't working. Wish I knew that beforehand if you ask me.

you still dress in a suit and tie right?

You can hang up notes on the wall in front of you. If you sit close enough, it will look like you are looking into the camera, but you can look right past it on to your notes.

Good luck everyone. Thank me later for this.

Please don't have notes and try to be sly, it's so painfully obvious. When you interview 15+ candidates the ones with suspicious body language stand out. Better to get something wrong and be able to walk through it than to be glancing down or staring at the wall.

Speaking of body language, stare into the camera and not at your reflection. Do all of your interview prep with your computer camera on so you're comfortable with it. Don't swivel around in the chair. Be prepared with a glass of water and your computer plugged in

For everyone who's had a virtual superday, when did you get your offers?

1.5 hours back to back through zoom, didn't wear pants. MDs were chill and wasn't as bad as I expected. Got the offer next day. 

Bump, had a virtual superday a couple weeks back and haven’t heard anything. Is this typical?
