William Blair SA 2022
Their Chicago recruiting process is kicking off (suspect the same for SF/Bos) Want to start a thread since there isn’t one yet.

I went through their SA process recently. First round is half behavioral, half standard technicals. Superday is pretty standard. 4-5 interviews with 1 of them being technical. Famous for giving a paper LBO during the superday. I just googled how to do one before the day of the interview and it went fine.
Did super days already happen? May I ask what office you are applying to?
Did not go through it this year. Went through in a recent cycle.
How many rounds? Just first and superday?
Can you PM me?
Have you heard back for superday?
Is the March 26 deadline only for partner schools? And if so, are spots usually filled by just the partner schools?
On the application it says the 3.26 ddl is only for target schools and regional offices. But not sure if they only hire from target
They take a lot from their partner schools but they also take plenty from other schools

Has anyone been invited to a coffee chat or know if they’re equivalent to a screening?
Had a coffee chat last week. Purely conversational (at the beginning the analyst said he had some questions to ask, but at the end he said no questions needed) It might be screening? But I’ve been told there will be an official first round later.
Also I think this is only for target schools
Has anyone received a coffee chat for the Charlotte office?
How hard is the Suited assessment and how much does it matter? I hate these bs tests.
It’s all behavioral. Not sure how much they are weighted
Heard there were matching characters and number sequence tests?

Anyone get a first round yet?

Do they do nontarget at the same time as their core schools
Don’t think they are, at least for Chicago
In Chicago, they do target before non-target.
First rounds for SF are out. Taking place this week I believe. For the people that had a first round today, how did it go?
Did you hit the technicals? When do you find out?
Was your interview also with a VP
Core school superdays first, then non-core interviews begin
Received first round, non-target
What office?
Charlotte
deleted
Received first round in Charlotte
First rounds out for Boston. Anyone have an idea how difficult the technicals are?
How did it go?
Just got first round for Charlotte
Anyone know if the interviews are being sent out in waves?
For Chicago it is, first target then others.
For other offices I think it happens at the same time
bump
How well did you guys do on the Suited assessment?
It doesn't tell you, but did you have an interview? I believe you would have had an invite by now unless you're doing Chicago
Any idea on the Chicago timeline?
I'm only doing chicago though lol
Has anyone heard back re superdays for SF?
Nope. How did your interview go?
Think it went well. Did you interview this week or last week?
Have you heard back re superday?
Did you interview this week or last week?
Bump
Any idea on the New York timeline?
How did your interview go?
I didnt get an interview. I Was wondering if anyone got a first round for NYC yet

Any news on Boston super days?

Received superday for Charlotte
I got one too
Same here + two others from my school. Looks like we got some competition!
Can you PM me?
Had a first round for Boston last week, completed Suited profile about a month ago for the general application. Checked back in today and saw that the competencies assessment was now included that I had not seen earlier (confirmed by another applicant). Does anyone know if the results of the assessment are used for deciding Superdays? I contacted HR just now after completing that section, but not sure if its too late
I'm confused, you didn't do the Suited but you still got an interview? What part of it did you do? And where did you check back in to see that it was included?
Also, how did your first round go? Did you get a superday?
Just to clarify, I have only had a first round and waiting to hear about a superday. I think the interview was solid, but since I heard Super day invites could be coming out today, I checked the link in my first round invite to the suited profile.
I know when I had first submitted my application in March, I had completed all the sections but when I checked today, the competencies exam (which I had not seen earlier and neither had a friend) was marked as unfinished and so I finished it today and emailed HR to update them.
I’m hoping Suited was just used for screening, but I am concerned my chances of a super day might be gone due to this.
Did only charlotte get superdays?
Chicago superday next week for target. Non target starts after target I believe
Has anyone heard about Boston?
Anyone heard back re SF superdays?
bump
Did anyone else get a "more info" request asking about any past criminal convictions or political donations?
Yes, I got that too
What office did you interview with / did you get a super day?
Which office is this? Did you already get superday request?
ya I got it as well. Just two yes/no questions. Came in my inbox alongside my superday invite.
Which office?
Have any non-targets non-diversity gotten first rounds?
Yes. A couple of my friends, non-target and non-diversity, have gotten 1st rounds.

In the Charlotte superday rn, lowkey hella hard but people are chill
Mid superday WSO post is big mood
Yoooo good luck dude! You got this. Can you tell us the questions you were asked when you finish?
I have a break until 3...
All behavioral, one qualitative case study on a med-tech company that benefitted from the pandemic “here’s a co we are pitching, what would you consider”... and a paper LBO with easy numbers (just know cash flow formula they let u use pen and paper) Some other easy techs related to how would you value this company in XYZ industry.
Lastly they asked me what 8 cubed was which I struggled with a little but eventually got
Rest is behavioral
gave superday for chicago, anyone heard back?
Nope not yet. But what do you mean by gave? R u the interviewer?
Have you heard back?
Any updates?
Haven’t hear back yet from Atlanta Office. They sent me the email last weekends saying that the superday invitation will be out this week. So just wonder will they also inform you even they won’t extend you a superday?
have u heard back then? also interviewed with them last week.
They send me an email last week asking whether I have any other interview process at the same time, and the superday is current scheduled at Apr 27 and 29. They also mentioned in the email that they will send out decision of final round invitations this week. But haven’t hear back about superday so far.
Any updates on chicago timeline?
I have my super day for Chicago this week. Non target not diversity.
You're non-target and non-diversity and already have a super? I talked to alumni and they said Chicago wasn't starting for non-targets until after April 30th. Did you mean to say you were diversity?
First rounds expected to happen in the early weeks of May, at least for non-targets. I don't know if targets got to interview for Chicago before the April 30th deadline.
Did anyone go through Boston superday today? How was it?
Bump
How did they go guys? :)
Barely technical. Thought I did pretty well. No response yet. You?
Accepted Charlotte offer
Congrats! I haven’t accepted yet but plan to in the AM!!!
Any updates on SF? They said supers would be out by midweek
Haven’t heard anything yet have you?
nope
Accepted Chicago offer. Non target and non diversity, but accelerated recruiting.
Congrats. How did you get into the accelerated recruiting? Did you reach out to HR and say you had an exploding offer? Were the interviews more behavioral or technical? Heard Blair loves paper lbo's, but they're easy ones.
Did the same paper LBO twice haha. That was only technical part of superday. Rest of questions were split between situations and behavioural questions.
Anyone here apply to the Atlanta office?
SDed this week, haven't heard back
Received first round invite for Chicago
Target or non-target? Diversity or non-diversity? Was it from HR or a banker?
