Goldman Sachs GIR Business Analyst (Tokyo Office) Interview
Hi all,
I got a first round interview for GIR business analyst position at tokyo office. I was wondering how I should go about preping for the interview? is WSO type of guide good enough for the initial prep?
I immigrated to Canada from Japan during high school and I am really hoping to go back to Japan.
Thanks for all the help!
just PM'd you something you'll hopefully find useful.
Could you pm me that as well? much appreciated
Where did you go to HS?
thanks snakesplis!. pmed you.
I went to earl haig high school.
any other help would be awesome :)
Woops, thought you wrote you moved to Japan for HS. NVM.
My past interviews for spots in Japan have been mostly fit-based. If you get a foreign interviewer however, it may be different.
thanks bob :).
last bump to see if there is any other suggestion!
I have an interview for this role as well (not Tokyo office though). Just wondering how does this role differ from normal equity research in terms of pay? It is very strange but my interviewer kept asking me about salary expectations since I am lateral.
Bit stale, but how does a business analyst role differ from equity research in general? Is the only difference experience?
"ER Business analyst" makes me think this is an administrative/ER central management or an IT role supporting the ER platform.
Would have to see the job description.
Flake - see below. Sounds like a traditional ER associate role...

GS GIR HK SA Final Round Interview (Originally Posted: 01/09/2011)
I have final round interviews for GIR(Global Investment Research) HK SA soon, and I would really appreciate it if anyone could give me an idea of what kind of questions I should expect, and anything that would be useful to know. It seems like there are very few people interviewing for GIR, so any feedback on this position, or GS GIR in general would be great.
Also, any idea on how selective GIR SA is?
Electicist, are you interviewing for their Summer Analyst or Summer Associate position? Thanks.
summer analyst
Thanks, Eclecticist. I applied for their Summer Association position. It is still "under review." From what I heard, there are fewer GIR positions available compared to IBD. You must be real good to get in their final round. Good luck!
