Went to Super Saturday last fall, great group of guys. All very smart and also seem like they would be fun to go out and grab a drink with. They were only picking up one or two analysts, and out of the three students from my school, unfortunately, none of us got an offer... Matter of fact, the only downside to the firm was that they never even rejected us, just never followed up to let us know of our status... After interviewing with them it was by far my top choice for a bank, and I would still love to go work there. Hours are pretty long from what I gathered (80-100), and pay is slightly less than Street, and bonuses are less.
As far as final rounds, there were something like 15 candidates for two slots or so... All Big Ten schools... Matter of fact it was UofM, Michigan State, Iowa, and Indiana... They do not hire undergrads from U of Chicago or Northwestern (or so we were told)... However, most senior bankers came from U of Chicago MBA... Interviews were 20 minutes long, 12-15 of them one right after another... No breaks... The idea behind it was that they wanted to kill us for a few hours to see if we could handle it... Not too bad, actually I enjoyed it, once again cus of how cool they all were... Mostly behaviorial, but one or two interviews will be pure technical...
superday this weekend with Dresner in Chicago. I know quite a bit about them, but any more information would be great. Anybody here interview with them before? Questions they asked? Mainly fit? Mainly technical? Questions I should think about asking? Thanks for your help
Questions will be mostly fit, some interviewers will focus exclusively on technical questions. You'll be fine if you understand basic accounting/finance/valuation concepts. Stress how interested you are in M&A and why middle market appeals to you. Hope this helps.
How quickly do they usually respond after the Super Saturday? I know they are only picking up a few analysts this year, but will it still take a couple days? Thanks
Wondering what the consensus is on Dresner Partners in Chicago? Landed a sophomore internship there this summer, and I'm wondering what opportunities that would leave me with bulge brackets after my junior year. Any relevant knowledge on the firm is appreciated

Thanks for the feedback!
So, lower pay and high hours - we'll see how this goes.
