Phone call with HR, behavioral/intro yourself Virtual Superday has four rounds. 2 behavioral, 1 technical, 1 mixed (?) but mostly behavioral again 30 minutes before Superday, you will be given a short-essay prompt (page long) that you have to submit in the time slot. The prompt was about what company you would invest in and why. May take several weeks for them to get back to you.

Why Baird, a lot of behavioral/fit questions. Research the Baird Difference and highlight how many bankers stay at the firm for decades. Technicals: how 3 statements flow, what statement is the most important; if a businessman asks for advice on what to do with his business, what questions would you ask; equity/EV questions. No heavy accounting. Mainly overhead questions to gauge how you think.
1st round pure behavs, with a VP; 2nd round is more technical, with a VP; then superday. overall a good experience people are chill. I think they prefer people who can vibe with them
