Need Advice regarding Superday
So, I am a current junior who's recruiting for SA 2021 roles. So far, I have had a superday at a BB, at an EB and have also interviewed across the other firms (have messed up hirevues at some and have not gotten the next round when I thought I had my best interview ever).
Anyways, I have a superday coming up with a group that's the best in what they do, and this might also be one of the last opportunities I have (seeing that most of the firms are wrapping up). I also come from a non-target so really don't have too many other opportunities.
So, my question is, how can I make sure I convert at this super day? What is the X-factor that you think is needed to convert at a superday? Any tips would be much appreciated.

Was in your shoes a couple years ago. Can provide more tailored advice if you just generally provide a firm.
It's not a BB/EB but is a group that usually kills it in the area it is in (so think Baird Industrials, Qatalyst, FT partners, TPH - Energy). They also have a history of running very technical teams and their interview process is very technical as well. (it's an industry group).
Is this rx like ducera, if so completely different advice if you talk about RX
They do some RX work but no it's not Ducera. This group's bread and butter has been M&A historically.
Ok cool man. Biggest advice is if you know who you’re interviewing with have your story tailored to each person. Do research on all 6-12 people individually and which deals they’re on and casually loop and name drop those as you explain why xyz firm or what deal is interesting or how you relate internship experience with what you hope to work on with the firm.
Also actually check out and make mention of small things you read, like how they approach business or try to partner with great entrepreneurs. Think of a good answer that really ties in stuff u heard in networking calls or directly from the website. Also do deeper research into 1-3 deals (on bigger side so whoever u spiel to will know of the deal at least).
Lastly make sure u practice technicals well enough that u can explain why things are the way they are more than just reciting word for word. If you’re able to ‘speak the lingo’ and turn the convo more peer to peer u will be very successful. Don’t be afraid to crack a small joke or find a lining within something someone says to remark on an interesting connection and what they think.
Also have questions prepped for each specific individual that tie in specifics of background, deals they worked on, or interesting activities they listed. And remember to always relax and control the pace of the interview. You , as the one who are answering, controls the pace just as much as the interviewer actually and it’s important for you to get comfort over that
Also good luck, it’s important to reflect on past mistakes and gain confidence from that. Good luck if you do all of the above you maximize your outcome, which isn’t guaranteed, but I think is what differentiated me personally and most ppl that follow my advice and got an offer so good luck, relax, and kill it brotha. Actually if you want to mock interview with me or hop on the phone DM me and we can set something up I can give basic critique on behavioral and also ‘grill’ on technicals (if you want). Mocks are huge for gaining confidence
