2019 Goldman Sachs IBD Summer Analyst

I don't think there's already a forum on Goldman's 2019 IBD Summer Analyst recruiting process, so figured I'd start one. Please share insights/questions below! Is anyone else recruiting through the accelerated timeline?

Goldman Sachs Summer Analyst Timeline

It seems like the recruiting cycle starts earlier every year. While there’s no guarantee that the next year’s cycle will follow a similar pattern, here is what WSO community members have reported for 2019 SA positions.

Early Action (applications closed May 15th)

  • HireVues: mid to end-April
  • Superdays: invites sent out early May, Superdays held mid to end-May
  • Offer decision deadline: September 1st

Regular: (applications opened July 1st)

  • HireVues: early to mid August
  • Superdays: invites sent early September, Superdays held mid to end-September
  • Offer decision deadline: TBD

Tips for Applying and Interviewing

Network. Network. Network.

HireVues are likely to focus on behavioral questions. Check out this post for specific HireVue tips.

For the Superday, you’ll likely have multiple 30-minute interviews. Previous cycle candidates share their experiences in the forum post about GS 2018 Superday.

IB Interview Course

 

Seems like a ding for Early Action but maybe they'll review it during regular decision? Not sure why they would say "your application is still under consideration" otherwise.

 

Just got the same thing. I think I'm going to reach out to alum and see if they can push me through during regular decision review.

 

It basically says something like Thank you for your application. We are still reviewing the applications and will be in touch if you are selected for a Hirevue interview blah blah

 

Does anyone know if this hirevue is for all divisions or not? While my IBD status says "selected for interview" and IMD is still under review but under it says you will only complete one hirevue for the recruiting season for all divisions so I am a bit confused.

 

From what I've heard, your Hirevue will have the behavioral, 1 question for IBD, and 1 question for IMD. If your IMD gets chosen for a Hirevue later, you've already done it. Basically just be prepared to answer an additional question for IMD now.

What do you mean by application portal thing is a glitch? I got sent a hirevue as well but the two locations I applied for both said I was not selected for interview in early round. Am I actually still being considered for early action?

 

Was about to say the same thing.

The only way they'd share them is way later and it'd be of no benefit. Most HireVue's have a deadline after the invitation is sent. For JPM, I had two days to complete mine after the invite.

 

Under my application portal, it says "selected to interview", but I have not received my email with a HireVue link yet. I am worried that I'd be missing out on the HireVue deadline in case a glitch has occured. This is for IBD 2019 in a non-NY, non-West Coast office

 

SEC is often the one that asks for a stock pitch, but if you have an IB hirevue now I've been told you'll do the GIR/SEC questions now even if they recruit later. so yes, I might prepare for a stock pitch question, but it wouldn't be for your IB app

@Marunouchi Jungle" Hey thank you!!! I was just wondering and had a question for you. When does GS start your background check once you are offered an SA position?

Do they ask for your transcripts right away or does this happen just before your internship happens?

 

maybe he is a troll - but GS is quite secretive and they do somtimes have random superdays. it is also possible he may have other big offers so they are letting him have an early superday.

it is also even possible he knows a group very well/partner in a group very well - and this specific group is doing a superday potentially for people who have networked extremely well/have high up connections.

I do not think this is normal though. he did mention stock competitions though so I am not sure if he has an IBD or Securities superday?
