What's the GS/MS/JPM lateral process

I'm currently preparing for group-specific lateral interviews with a top BB (GS/MS/JPM). How long does the typical process take from interviewing to getting an offer? Will there be a superday just like SA and FT recruiting? Will the interviews be conducted over Zoom or in-person?

Just did a laterals 2 months ago, my experience may be different to yours, differs greatly across teams, its more FT imo:

JP: submit CV - 20 days - Interview 1 - 1.5 weeks - Interview 2 - 2 days - Interview 3 - next day - "Superday" - Next day - Interview 4- next day - Offer, total days: around a month and a half

JP another position: Submit CV - 4 days - Interview 1 - 1 week - Rejected

GS: submit CV - 30 days - Phone Interview 1 - 3 days - Interview 2 - 2 weeks - Interview 3 - next day - "Case study" - 3 weeks - Interview 4 - 1 week - Offer

GS: submit CV - 15 days - Interview 1 - 2 days - Phone interview 2 - 3 days - Rejected

Didn't apply to MS

 

Modeling test or case study at any parts of the process? Also, I'm assuming interviews were mix of heavy technicals, deal experience and behavioral? 

 

Did you interview with more senior bankes (VP, ED, MD) or junior (Analysts/Associates)?
