Which IBD Superday to Accept

I just received a call from a Top BB (MS/GS/JPM) to invitte me to a superday for a FT job in IBD. HR gave me two different dates to choose from, either one a week from today or one in the second week of September. Do you guys think it would be beneficial to take one date or the other or does it really not matter?

Thanks for the input!

If you feel you're prepared enough on your technical questions and interview prep, I would say the earlier the better in this situation. That's just my two cents.

I'm interviewing with an EB and they seem to want to get through with the process as soon as possible and fill their positions, and it's been difficult for me to schedule the interviews because my internship isn't over yet but I'm trying to be as accommodating as possible.

sooner is always better if you think you'll be fine.

How would you know? How many people did you interview during your most recent internship?

the fact that space/slots are a lot more limited for FT recruiting, so in terms of odds, it's better to interview before there's even less spots available?
 

I would echo the comments above, especially the first response. If you feel like you are ready, then there is not point in waiting it out.

Spots fill up every interview date. Why would you ever want to interview for less spots when you could interview for more?
