Superday was six interviews consecutive at their Bay Street office starting around 8am. First two were fit focused then the middle ones went technical, WACC calculation and enterprise value bridges. Fifth interview was with an MD who wanted a stock pitch in about 10 minutes with no prep time and I gave him something on a CPG company he seemed lukewarm about. Sixth one was basically a formality. Exhausting day
