Based on the most helpful WSO content, here’s what you need to know for preparing for a Citi IBD SA 2025 Superday:

Components to Prepare For:

1. Behavioral Questions:

   • Be ready to answer all the usual behavioral questions.
   • Use the Free Finance Interview Guide available on WSO to practice these types of questions.

2. Markets Component:

   • Stay updated with the news and daily market movements.
   • Prepare an outlook on the S&P 500 (as a proxy for the US markets).
   • Have an outlook on major country economies/markets (China, Eurozone, EMEA).

3. Pitches:

   • Prepare several pitches, including a short pitch and a long pitch.
   • These pitches do not need to be for equities; a strong non-equities trade pitch can be particularly impressive.

4. Technical Questions:

   • Citi is known to ask questions about bond concepts such as duration and convexity.
   • Review these concepts thoroughly.

5. Case Study:

   • Be prepared for a case study where you might act as a consultant for a company looking to make an investment with multiple options.

Additional Tips:

• Networking: Although you mentioned you have never networked, it’s beneficial to start reaching out to people in the industry. Even a few conversations can provide valuable insights and boost your confidence.
• Practice: Mock interviews can be very helpful. Consider using resources like WSO’s mock interview services to get a feel for the real thing.
• Confidence: Given your non-finance background, focus on your unique strengths and experiences that can add value to the team.

Good luck with your preparation!
