Superday Help
I had a superday on Thursday and then a skype interview the day after with an MD. Is this good or bad that I had another interview after my superday? When should I hear back?

You'll hear back next week 100%. I find it a bit strange that you had a Skype interview the day after...was this international?
Typically, the company meets right after all candidates are finished with superday interviews and discusses who will and who will not be receiving offers. They won't wait until next week to decide, so I'm sure the decisions were made by Friday.
This is how it works - all candidates come in for the day and have their 4-6 interviews. Afterwards, every company employee who was involved sits down together and assigns a ranking to each candidate. You submit your own personal rankings on who should receive an offer, and who shouldn't. These rankings are aggregated and the final decisions are made based on everyone's combined opinions and rankings. Occasionally, if an important MD/BSD really likes or dislikes a candidate, then his opinion will be the final and uncontested verdict.
For example, say you absolutely crushed your first 3 interviews, and each interviewer ranked you #1...you're feeling good and confident and you go into your final and last interview with some rainmaker MD after a long and "brainstaking" day. You clash with him straight away and are tortured for the following 30 minutes... he hated your tie, thought your argyle socks were completely obnoxious, was disgusted by your sweaty and limp handshake, and thought you were totally awkward while not being convinced of any of your b.s. volunteer activities on your resume...In this situation, the MD comes into the staff meeting and says "absolutely no way we are hiring this kid." Even though everyone else loved you, you now have no shot. Nobody says a word and they move onto the next candidate and you are stuck without a job. I have seen this personally happen multiple times.
Hopefully this is not the case, and your superday/skype interviews contained none of the aforementioned characteristics. Moral of the story - you will hear back next week as HR has made the final decisions and will be in the process of preparing the hiring packets for those lucky( unlucky), naive, soon-to-be-jaded future analysts/slaves.
BIGGUY, is what you described true for BB IBD SA interviews? So, are all interviewees essentially ranked?
Do you only meet with MDs on superday or they might also bring in VP and associates?
At my BB & EB superdays I never interviewed with an MD. I think this would be uncommon but perhaps others may have had different experiences, particularly at MM and smaller boutiques where deal teams are small and fit is extremely important. My superdays were strictly Associates and VPs, whereby the VP Staffer had the ultimate deciding power.
Was this for SA or FT? I know for certain that in S&T superday, it is only MDs or SMDs.
Maybe for IBD, since analysts work more closely with Associates and VPs, that might be the case?
Moreover, when would a firm start to ask to fill out compensation history and immigration history? This doesn't indicate anything as it is probably part of the procedure to move on to the next step?
