I mean, it is hard even to get through the hirevue, so I just thought getting all the way through the hirevue AND phone/skype interviews then getting dinged at the superday would feel really aweful. So how much of the superday candidates actually make it to an offer? Is it different for SA and FT positions? Just lookin for a ballpark figure

From my experience, 30-40% for internships
From my very limited experience interviewing: 10-30%
Usually 20-30%, it also depends if its FT-SA-Off, as it depends on the number of seats available. In any case normally during the first-second ACs these rates are higher and then they go down as there are less seats and usually less qualified kids (normally firms try to push fast those who think that have better chances of getting it)
69%
Yea every firm has a different number but usually 20-35%. Can probably get to 50% if its accelerated/diversity recruiting
My firm(BB) hits 50% quite often for regular superdays. Diversity only is just slightly higher percentage wise, but the bar is lower, so it can seem like the percentage is significantly higher.
The reality is it starts at about 30-40% for the first few accelerated/diversity superdays and then begins tapering off. At my bank, the final non-target superday had 20 candidates competing for 1-2 spots, which is 5-10%.
If you're non-diversity and from a semi-target or below, your chances are much lower, and you absolutely have to be more polished and know your technicals cold if you want an offer. It's always kind of sad to see because kids in the final few interview rounds are definitely better than the kids at the diversity/accelerated superdays where we end up taking a bunch.
This is very good information.
Im 0/4 on Superdays (S&T and HedgeFund) so definitely don't take them lightly.
For UK pov
Superdays = Assessment Centres
I had several ACs across AM, S+T, ER and IBD.
If you get AC for IBD, your chances are around 12.5% - 50% (though the people that get offers have crazy exp or speak >2 languages) US BBs had 6-8 candidates, EU banks had 6-8 candidates and then some sector boutiques were 4 people.
For ER, chances are 25% - 50% -> interviewed with several ER houses and had no more than 4 people every time.
S+T is a crapshoot - varies from 5% - 100% lol
Way back way I remember my SA AC for S&T. Second one they ran than cohort. Only 1 of 12 to get it.
Barcays London IBD (2020 SA)
7 guys (+me) = 2 offers
A friend of mine went to 6 super days and the offer rate was pretty consistent. BB was around 30%. All others up to 50%.
