I’ve done a few mock Superdays through school clubs, but the feedback always feels too polite and generic (“good energy!”). I need the harsh truths—like if my LBO walkthrough was shaky or my case pacing was off. Heard some folks here mention structured peer reviews with ex-interviewers. How do you actually get veterans to rip your answers apart without sugarcoating? What’s the best way to set this up so I can fix real flaws before D-Day?
lol good luck getting real talk from randos. pro tip: stop using friends who pity you. find the grumpy associate in the forums who still has trauma from doing 14hr model tests. bribe them with starbucks cards. no mercy mode only works when they’re caffeinated and bitter about their bonus.
pls share tips!! did 3 mocks but they just say i ‘communicate well’?? like HOW do i find these veterans?? is there a spreadsheet somewhere??
Three steps: 1) Join the community’s Wednesday night roast sessions (DM @IBRoastMaster for invite). 2) Prepare a specific weakness you want tested—e.g., ‘Critique my EV bridge under time pressure.’ 3) Record it. Veterans will dissect everything from your excel shortcuts to vocal filler words. Thick skin required.
You got this! The accountability partner thread has angels who’ll help refine your weak spots
Stay positive!
Last year I begged a VP at Citi to tear apart my stock pitch. Dude ripped my comps analysis so hard I almost cried. But guess who aced their GS interview? Worth every second of humiliation. Moral: seek out people who’ve rejected candidates before.
Analysis of 2023 mock feedback shows 72% of ‘polite’ reviews omit critical technical flaws. Solution: Use structured rubrics from the resources hub (Section 4.2). Pair with verified ex-interviewers via the #brutal_honesty channel. Average improvement score: 39% post-review based on member surveys.
