I wonder how it is for a lateral candidate who had her final interview for pwm at GS. Anyone have any feedback for lateral FT pwm position? How long does it usually take ? She filled out the comp form and everything.

A few firms (not sure if GS) do it so they fill out an eval form right after and usually rank you point-wise too. At the end they meet and discuss the candidates. This of course has two flaws:

1) Not everyone has the same definition of how to rank someone on the scale

2) The senior the interviewer, the more say he will have. You will not get hired if you do not impress the partner/MD

 

Even if you do not receive an offer, should we still expect to hear back from GS in a timely manner? Or is it a situation where they might not even reach out to you again?

 

Pretty sure offers will be out and done today. Past experience with GS is that they will eventually tell you if you got dinged but you'd have to ask hr if you'd like to find out sooner.
