Goldman Sachs Superday

Question

Hi all,

I’ve been invited to a Superday at Goldman Sachs for an investment banking role and was hoping to get some insights from anyone who’s gone through it recently.

I’ve already done the HireVue and a first-round interview, but I’m not exactly sure what to expect next.

How many interviews are typically part of the Superday?
How technical do the interviews get (e.g. DCF, accounting, LBOs)?
How much of the focus is on personal fit or behavioral questions?
Is there anything unexpected like a case or group exercise?

Any tips or recent experiences would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Congrats on the Superday!

For Goldman IBD, you can typically expect 3–5 back-to-back interviews, often with a mix of VPs, associates, and sometimes MDs.

Technicals can go fairly deep (DCF, comps, accounting walk-throughs, and possibly basic LBO logic). They want to test both knowledge and clarity of thought.
Fit/behavioral is just as important. Expect detailed questions on your resume, motivations, and how you handle pressure.
No group exercises or formal cases, but some interviewers might throw in a live scenario like “walk me through how you'd value X company.”

Biggest tip: be structured, calm, and personable. They’re hiring people they’d want on a deal team at 2 AM.

Hi there,

first of all, huge congrats on being invited. That’s a great sign already!

From what I’ve seen, Superdays can feel a bit intense just because you meet several people in a row, but the exact setup often depends on the specific group and office. Some conversations can be more technical, others more about how you think and whether you’d be a good fit with the team.

I wouldn’t try to predict every single question. It usually helps to review the core technicals you’re already comfortable with and at the same time be ready to talk about your story and why you’re interested in the role.

Everyone’s experience is a little different, so the best approach is to stay adaptable and show that you’re someone they’d enjoy working with.

Wishing you the best for the day!

Hey!

A Goldman Sachs Superday typically consists of several back-to-back interviews, usually three to five, each lasting about 30 minutes. You’ll meet with different bankers across levels, often associates and VPs, and occasionally a senior MD. The format is rapid-fire, so stamina and consistency matter just as much as individual answers.

The technical depth can vary by interviewer, but you should be ready for detailed accounting and valuation questions, including walking through a DCF or discussing comps. LBOs sometimes come up, but usually at a high level for analyst roles. Expect a good portion of the day to focus on behavioral and fit questions—Goldman places a lot of weight on whether you can thrive in a demanding team environment.

It’s unlikely you’ll face a formal case study or group exercise, but you may be tested on how you think through an open-ended market or deal-related question. The best way to prepare is to keep answers structured, concise, and confident, while showing energy throughout the day. Consistency across interviews is key since feedback is compared afterward.
