Hi,Munster, just got an invitation of second round in 2 days later, what did they ask in the second round? is that quite similar questions as they asked in the first round and repeated with different people? Did they ask a lot about the recent market performance of Goldman a lot? or just several follow up questions based on your answer of the questions as u mentioned? any other tips? thanks!!

I have my first round interview on Tuesday morning, any tips on where to do some research? How do I absorb as much info as possible to tuesday? Are there any questions regarding current industry news etc?


I heard back from my first round interview the following evening, and got the job offer a few days after my second round interview :smile: but I've heard people hear back at different times so don't be worried if you don't hear from them straight away.

I completely agree with Munster - both interviews are mainly competency based so prepare loads of these (great examples on Glassdoor). Just be open and be yourself - they want to know the real you, be prepared to talk about your CV and be prepared to answer follow up questions to the answers you give. The interviewers are really friendly and I only got asked technical questions if I brought up the subject myself, so if you do talk about something in the news or a financial term, make sure you know the details of it. And have some good questions to ask them :smile:

I there I had my second round on Friday and am yet to hear back. Anyone know on average how long it takes to receive feedback if it's a positive outcome? I heard back within 48 hours for my first round so the fact it's been three days is concerning me a little. Thank you for anyone's insight.

Ohh! Hope it well, I'm still waiting, they told me they'd get back to me mid-January so I'm guessing soon.

Good luck! :smile:


Hi Munster I was wondering if you've heard back yet? Thanks!

Hey I heard back ages ago! Lol I didn't get it :P

If you go through the pages in this post you'll see when exactly :smile:
Hey Munster I'm sorry to hear that but I hope you've got another offer elsewhere that you can fall back on. I haven't heard back for almost three weeks now so it's not looking too good. Did you receive the email notification two weeks after your second round interview if you can remember? :smile:

Hey Ant thanks for your message. I have tried to call a couple of times but never get through to anyone. I'll probably try again later in the week. May I ask how long it took you to hear back/what you did to follow up?

Thanks

Yeah it was like more than three weeks after that I heard back. But ant2020 is right, its better to call rather than wait around and waste time like I did! They only got back to me after I emailed them (I called them and I didn't get through to them) which was annoying.

And now I'm waiting for feedback, I've called them loads of times (didn't get through) until recently, and the person who I was looking for wasn't in, so now I have to wait til next week -_-

I'm supprised your still waiting around for feedback. Goldman Sachs are probably the worse company to get back to you, wether its feedback or rejection they will delay it as much as they can. I hate it but once they reject you, it's game over they don't care about you

Hey I've known people that get the offer after a month though. I called today and was told they're still assessing interview outcomes and would be in touch. Not really quite sure what that means though. Any ideas?

Lol I know right!! But I don't care, I'm adamant on getting feedback. I really thought my interviews went well so I want to see what went wrong. If that means calling them everyday and chasing them by emails, then so be it! :P
