ML Non-Core Superday

Yea I was there....don't think it was entirely non-core schools, but definitely the majority. I thought my interviews went well, but then again these are kinda crapshoots.

You attend a superday on one day and you post on an internet forum THE SAME NIGHT asking for results... talk about neurotic.

Yes, I did. If you're familiar with the process, you'd know that top candidates receive verbal offers on the same day. Hence, I found it appropriate to create a thread the same night.

"If I'm familiar with the process" eh? I had five offers this season, a 100% hit rate from each of the places with which I've interviewed (including ML). I can tell you two things: 1.) I have never gotten an offer the night of my interview (although I realize that this is sometimes done) and, more importantly, 2.) It doesn't matter to me whether other candidates at the superday received offers, as I realize that this will in no way impact whether I receive an offer. Therefore, I would never go around asking other people whether they've heard back yet.

You sound like a tool who is going to go without an offer.

And you sound like an asshole who's full of himself.

Lay off the guy, everyone's nervous this time of year.

Which office was this for? I have a superday with ML Los Angeles tomorrow.

I'm not trying to prove that I'm smart or anything along those lines. I was quite content when, following Mr. White's brilliant rant (and the general accord from most of the more sensible members of the board) the non-consequential posts had died down. It seems that they have quickly recurred, however, as newer members have somehow missed the message (or choose to ignore the message in an overwhelming attainment of insecurity). The point is that posting questions that will not alter the outcome of the situation is useless. Common sense dictates that one should post questions when seeking advice or knowledge that will somehow impact future decisions.

I think this is a very intelligent post that should be stickied: http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/stop-posting-useless-questions

I had a superday for ML banking on a friday and didn't receive my offer until the next tuesday. The earliest any of my friends have received offers from their respective banks was the following day, so don't fret if you haven't heard back yet.

You're saying two things here, both of which are fallacious: 1.) The amount that you "worry" will influence the probability that you will get an offer. 2.) Your mind is so one-dimensional that it is impossible for you to rank your current and prospective offers with and without the inclusion of Merrill Lynch.

I'm not going to argue with you any further, because I've quickly found that it is futile to argue with neurotic and worrisome candidates during recruiting season. Good for you for trying very hard to succeed. One thing that my professor told me, however: It's not how hard you work, it's how smart you work. Spend less time sweating the trivial and inconsequential details and spend more time doing something constructive.

( P.S. If you really want to worry/calm yourself, I can detail for you the exact probability that you have of getting an offer. HR told me exactly how many candidates were going to be at the superday and how many offers they were looking to extend... but, we've already learned that there's no point in worrying, right? ;) )

Wow you're an insufferable prick.

wannabebanker: Don't worry about it.

i guess those 5 offers have gotten to your head. you should feel real proud of yourself as a senior getting SA offers (if I recall you failed to get a FT offer in the fall).

No, I may not have gotten a full-time offer in the fall, but at least I am bold enough to post under a consistent screen name instead of pansying behind a newly created screen name because I am afraid of associating what I say to my “real” account, (despite that this “real” account is completely anonymous and untraceable... pathetic much?)

Anyway, the lack of a FT offer ended up working in my favor. I was able to work out an extremely sweet deal where I get to travel to 9 different countries over the next year, work 30 weeks and have fun for 20, with all living expenses (housing/food) paid, and pocketing 45k at the end of it. A pretty sweet year to have and relax before dedicating my life full time to IB, I’d say.

Oh... and don't bother responding to my post on that account. I won't worry myself with conversing with a coward who is too ashamed to be held responsible for his words.

i, like you, have a SA offer (except I'm a true Junior); however, i'm not the one making 1000 posts and giving people advice and telling everyone what it's like to be a banker. one thing you and I have in common is that we really don't know jack about banking. so stop pretending to be some finance deity and focus on your itinerary

Wannabebanker, don't stress out about it. I was invited to superday but I accepted another offer. How many people were at the superday on the 21st? Good luck!

There were 60 people there, no idea how many spots for that 60, but i would guess less than 10-15? They already had 2 superdays I think, and another small one in March.

Don't stress out about it, but realize that even at a BB superday, chances are never that good and not always in your favor.
