Based on the most helpful WSO content, Bank of America's Sales & Trading (S&T) Superday typically includes a mix of technical, behavioral, and market-related questions. While the level of quantitative rigor may vary depending on the specific role or desk you're interviewing for, here are some key points to help you prepare:

  1. Behavioral Questions:

    • Expect questions about your background, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. For example, "Tell us about a time when you were given little information and how you acted on it."
    • Be ready to discuss your strengths and weaknesses through internships, projects, or clubs you've been involved in.
  2. Technical Questions:

    • These may include bond concepts like duration and convexity, as mentioned in Citi's S&T interviews, which could also be relevant for BofA.
    • Be prepared to discuss valuation methodologies and any technical skills listed on your resume.
  3. Market-Related Questions:

    • Have an outlook on major markets (e.g., S&P 500, China, Eurozone) and be ready to discuss recent market movements.
    • Prepare a few trade pitches, including non-equities trades, as these can be particularly impressive.
  4. Quantitative Component:

    • While not overly quantitative, you should be comfortable with basic financial math and running models. The role's quantitative demands depend on whether you're targeting Sales, Trading, or a hybrid role.
  5. General Tips:

    • Be sharp on your resume and ready to defend your positions or ideas, as interviewers may play devil's advocate.
    • Stay updated on market news and trends leading up to the interview.

Good luck with your Superday! Make sure to bring energy and enthusiasm to show you're someone they'd want to work with daily.

Talked to someone who went through the interview process and got offered recently, happy to share what they said.

For the first interviewer, they said the questions were pretty standard:
1. Tell me about yourself / Why BofA / Why Sales & Trading
2. A behavioral question that used the STAR format — the like “Tell me about a time you led or made a mistake”
3. What do you use to follow the markets
4. What’s been going on in the markets recently

They said that the second interviewer was slightly more technical:
1. Tell me about yourself
2. What’s going on in the markets
3. A question along the lines of “If the Fed cuts rates, what are the effects?”

They said to make sure you’re really comfortable discussing current market trends and have a clear macro view you can articulate. Also, be ready for the typical behavioral stuff using STAR. Hope that helps!

I'll be interviewing on the 1st as well. From what I've seen online, it can vary greatly based on each candidate. I just planned on prepping for everything broadly. I don't know if you have yet, but read the interview reviews that are here on WSO and on Glassdoor. They helped me paint a picture of what to expect generally. Is yours 2 x 30 min interviews as well?
