Superday fit interview
Back-to-back fit conversations with VPs and MDs; mostly behavioral
What they actually ask
The question shapes this round uses. Larpy does not read these out. It builds each one from your own resume, because the generic version is the one you have already rehearsed.
- “Walk me through your resume, and tell me what you actually did.”
- “Why RBC, specifically, and not another bank?”
- “Tell me about a time you handled pressure or competing deadlines.”
- “Tell me about a time you worked with a difficult person.”
- “What would you want to work on here, and where do you see yourself in a few years?”
- “What questions do you have for me?”
What this round is judged on
- Motivation · a durable, specific 'why RBC' that holds up to a partner
- Maturity · ownership and self-awareness in your stories
- Culture fit · someone a senior banker would staff on a live deal
- Commercial awareness · genuine interest in the markets and the firm

What happens in each stage›
- Application + division ranking
- Apply on jobs.rbc.com; review is rolling, so early applicants have an edge. After the resume drop, RBC asks you to rank your division and group preferences within Capital Markets, and you should be ready to defend that ranking.
- One-way video screen (HireVue)
- A recorded, timed video interview used as an early filter. Overwhelmingly behavioral: why RBC, why banking, walk me through your resume, a teamwork or strengths prompt. Occasionally one light markets question.
- First-round interview
- One live interview, commonly with two associates, about 30 minutes. Fit-heavy, with a few basic technicals layered in.
- Superday
- Several back-to-back interviews with VPs and MDs. Mostly behavioral and fit; technical depth is concentrated in a single dedicated round. Exact count varies by cycle.
- Offer
- Rolling decisions. The summer analyst class is the main feeder to full-time seats.
