BOA Superday. Wealth Management
Hello everyone, this is my first post but I'm a long time lurker and I really enjoy this website. I'm looking for any possible advice or tips to help me kill my interview and secure my summer internship position. I know this forum is heavily focused on IB but my position is actually for Wealth Management. I applied for the Advisor Development Summer Analyst Program - Merrill Lynch Wealth Management and had a first round interview at my school(non-target). The first round was done by a recruiter and was only behavioral/fit questions. I was invited back for a second round interview(NYC Office) which is coming up in three days. Is this considered a superday? What should I expect? I'm super nervous since I really want this position and don't want to screw up this great opportunity. My interview time slot is an hour long but is divided into two sections, does this mean I should expect to be interviewed by two different people? What type of questions should I prepare for? Will there be any technical questions? Please let me know what I should review to prepare for this. Sorry if any of these questions seem silly and please no sarcasm guys, this opportunity means a lot to me. I appreciate any advice or insight you guys can give me, since I really have no idea what a super day is.
Thanks :)

Expect fit questions only and know what an FA does.
Thanks, so probably no technicals to worry about?
FMAP programs, FA development, and wealth management at BOA don't focus on technicals. I guess if you are paranoid then google finance questions so you have them ready, but again not needed. Focus more on your story and have your resume down solid. Good luck.
Thanks a lot, greatly appreciated! Who should I expect to be interviewed by? and why is it split into two time slots?
I read your post again, and you should expect your second round for this program to be a superday. It's likely split into two because you'll probably end up meeting two different people or you'll get a 2:1 panel interview. For superdays, you can expect to meet several different people and have several interviews back-to-back. This isn't meant to trip you up or anything so don't contradict your self or make silly mistakes under pressure. Make sure you have good answers to your fit questions.
I highly doubt anything technical for this, but in case, know the three financial statements and how they connect. If you're a finance/econ/math major, be able to explain why your major interests you. Finally, it is best practice to follow what's going in the news as well.
Is it the one tomorrow? If so I'm going too! I'm really nervous and have been practicing mostly behavioral questions but brushing up on basic technical stuff just in case. How have you been preparing?
hey sorry I didnt see this until now. How did it go? Hope you killed it!
did you hear back from them yet?
No did you? Im super nervous... I think it went well but really couldn't tell
I was at the Boston superday which was yesterday and have not heard back, but today is also a quasi bank holiday so I would expect the earliest to be possible Monday. Any else at the Boston one yesterday?
anything yet guys?
No I'm stressing!!
I'm starting to worry as well. not looking good
Doesn't seem like anyone heard back so stay calm.
How did the interviews go? What was the exact process, and what kind of questions were asked? I have a WM super day coming up as well and I am not sure what to expect.
ellama pretty much summed it up. Expect mostly behavioral and just have your story down. Good luck!
Does anyone remember how many they said they would hire?
I haven't heard back yet but I didn't ask how many they'd hire...
I received an offer today from BAML, I believe my superday was on 11/09, last thursday, the same as your, except I was at the Superday in Boston. They called me around 5PM EST today
Congrats!! I'm still waiting...
NY, news anyone?
nothing yet, wby?
same, probably a back-up
you think they sent out the offers today?
ohhhh back up with the offers being sent out? I thought you meant you're probably a back up candidate
Yeah, that's what I meant. People have gotten offers last week.
do you know if they send rejection emails? Or will they just not get back to us?
NJ/NY, anyone receive any news yet?
