Just got the call from GS HR that I've been selected for first round phone interviews next week for both Credit and Market Risk. I was curious what type of questions they will ask you. Any advice from people who have gone through the process would be awesome.

Questions I have been asked in Credit Risk interviews with other BBs (never interview for CR with Goldman): - What is Credit Risk - Why Credit Risk - What do you see the economy doing - What do you look at to assess a company's credit worthiness (always mentioned financial metrics as well as the industry, economy, and political environment (fear of expropriation? harmful legislation?)).
Besides that, just normal fit/behavioral stuff.
Goldman Sachs Credit Risk Interview (Originally Posted: 03/26/2014)
Hey guys,
I am about to have 1st round interview with GS Credit Risk in the Finance division. Time is running very short for me now and I am trying my best to focus on this interview. What types of questions should I be expecting - behavioral, technical? If technical, what would they be?
Thanks so so much guys. Any input is much appreciated.
Got some friends interviewed at credit risk at GS, first round I heard is usually very behavioral with at most 3 three technical questions relevant to your previous working experience. Good luck!

Any insight on the summer analyst interview process for the Credit Risk group in the Finance division? What types of questions do you think this group would ask?
Did you already get an interview or are you thinking of applying? Interested in this.
Had the interview last month via GS Accelerated - know your resume and be prepared to explain how your experience will help you in credit risk. A few scenario questions: how would lending to industry Y be different from lending to industry X etc. in all, 85% of the Qs came from my résumé, but they tied it to CR
Hi,
Thanks so much. 3 technical questions regarding previous work experiences meaning they just go into details of any quantitative work experiences we had?
I have a first round. Just trying to determine the best way to prepare
Thanks for the input. It just sucks I dont have any finance experience :/
I just looked at your screen name and realized that you probably have OCR. No such luck for me. I'm going to apply online, and hopefully get a call.
I have this first round interview too next week. James - GS doesn't do Credit Risk OCR at my school so I applied online via GS Accelerated Interviews and got the interview. So they def look at online applications.
I did not know about that. Kicking myself. Can you please explain the accelerated process, and is the deadline for the Finance Division accelerated process over?
Thanks.
.
unfortunately the deadline for the accelerated process ended last month. So no one has any insight on the type of interview to expect? How technical might this be?
