Hi, I have an upcoming Superday with MS for an Associate role within IBD. It’s going to be virtual on Zoom. Any tips on how best to prepare?

Just the usual stuff.

Intro of yourself, previous firm + role, involvement in notable deals and how you contributed, technical questions, why you’re looking to make a jump + why MS.

You’ve gotten to the super day so your previous interviewers thought you were good enough to put in front of the top brass.

Nothing much has changed from previous interviews but who you’re interviewing with—leave a good impression and don’t ramble.

Ask questions that will make them think you’re curious and ready to get started. If you have an idea of who is going to be interviewing you then you can also look them up and have specific questions about them that’ll make them feel appreciated(?) and important

At least it's via Zoom. Expect all the standard questions and go in with questions of your own.

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.
