Super day format?

I am extremely fortunate to have a couple of Super days lined up with BB shops coming up. Does anyone know the general format for Super days? Is it mostly behavioral, conversation and fit questions or a mix of technicals and behaviorals?

Thanks in advance

If its WFS, expect 8 rounds of technicals and behaviorals. Behaviorals will heavily focus on situational questions (tell me about a time where you had to do XYZ), as well as why wells fargo. The why wells question IME is the most important, so if you do well on your technicals and have a great why wells answer, you should feel confident that you'll get an offer.

 

Been to 7+ superdays across different cities. Format is usually 1 technical interview, and the rest behavioral. Citi Houston has 1 technical and 1 case study and rest behavioral. Some EB Superdays had only 1 behavioral with a senior banker and the rest mix of technical and case study. But I’d say BB generally stick to the 1 technical and rest behavioral model (# of interviews on the Superday varies by bank)

 

one of the buyside superdays i had was 5-6 back-to-back 15-20 minute interviews, they were set up in different rooms and candidates rotate every 20 minutes or so. the rooms were technicals, fit (walk through your resume), brainteasers, current events, and something else that i don't remember, each room had 2-3 analysts/assoc except for fit (i think they were HR but not sure)

 

I've had questions like tell me something in the news that will impact markets and what you think about it, asking my thoughts on a specific current event (had an MD ask how the china trade war could impact their bank), asking about trends in a specific industry that I was following, etc.

No real way to prepare except just skimming the journal every morning, and in prepping for a superday have some recent news that might be relevant that you are prepared to talk about.

 

agree with jdogg, mine was pretty open-ended, "what's going on in the markets", just be ready to talk about a certain topic for 15 minutes and be able to back up your view

 

In my experience, they vary pretty heavily by bank, but expect a number of interviews with people ranging from associate (or sometimes even analyst) to MD. Associates or analysts will usually grill you on technicals, VP/MD will be much more chatty and fit based. Each bank will have a different number of each, but usually its 5-6 total with at least 1 technical and at least 2-3 more fit. Usually there is also a lunch with an analyst or something similar.

That being said, like other people have mentioned, some banks do things like a case study or paper test. Look into each bank specifically if possible.
