Goldman Sachs Superday

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.

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!

Hi!

Goldman Sachs Superdays typically consist of multiple back-to-back interviews, often 4–6, with a mix of technical and personal fit questions. Technical questions usually cover accounting, valuation methods (DCF, comps, precedent transactions), and occasionally basic LBO mechanics, but the focus is on your ability to reason through problems and explain concepts clearly rather than building full models on the spot. Behavioral and personal fit questions are equally important, assessing teamwork, leadership, motivation, and resilience through concise, impact-driven stories. You generally won’t encounter group exercises or formal case studies like at assessment centers, though some interviews may include discussion of past deals or hypothetical scenarios to test analytical thinking. Preparation should balance technical refreshers, recent deal awareness, and well-practiced behavioral stories to handle the fast-paced interview schedule confidently.
