Anyone have any information or input on their summer analyst banking super days? I received an invite to their december 18th super day and want to prepare as much as possible. I'm just curious to learn how the process works, what to expect, etc. Any input would be greatly appreciated. I'll even toss around some SB's, seeing as I have so many because apparently some of you guys think I'm funny.

Expect a lot of behavioral questions like with any other BB. Technical questions will be fairly straightforward, they don't really go beyond the ones on the WSO technical guide.
Be sure you can talk about people who you know at the firm. GS places a lot of value on loyalty and the ability to fit in well at the bank and if you know a lot of analysts that will help immensely.
In the morning you'll have a 30 minute 2-on-1 interview that'll be more fit focused with very few technicals. If you make it to the afternoon you'll most likely have three 30 minute 2-on-1 interviews that'll be heavily fit focused, but you better know your technicals.
Goldman's philosophy is if you're smart enough and we like you, we can teach you.

to be honest, none. submitted the regular app and was contacted a few days later. Have a connection to an MD, which leads me to believe that is the reason for the superday, because I am aware it's earlier than the normal cycle.
Goldman Sachs IBD 2014 Internship (Originally Posted: 11/28/2013)
Hey Everyone,
I have an interview coming up in a couple of weeks with Goldman Sachs IBD 2014 summer internship. I was wondering if anyone could provide me with some information on how to best prepare. Specifically I AM looking for anyone who currently or previously has/had experience with Goldman Sachs (internship or full-time). I would really like to know how best to prepare, what questions will be asked, what guides should i read, what are some best websites to look into for interview advice..etc. This will be a first round interview on campus so its not a phone screening. It will be 2 30min interview with 2 Goldman Sachs representatives! I would really appreciate any help possible! Thank you all in advance!
This is a joke

Hey OP, I think you would find this very helpful. Good luck with the interview!

Rather than wasting your time on whining that he's asking these obvious questions, you just as easily could have answered them already.
1) Generally in IB (although I have had no interview at GS) they will always ask technical questions (walk me through a DCF kind of things) and definitely questions like why IB, why this bank, what do you already know about IB and the industry, etc.
2) Buy the WSO guides (technical + behavioral). I have them and find them very useful. More useful than the Vault Guide, which is also ok, but less good than the WSO ones.
3) Best website to look around is WSO as far as I know. This is probably the biggest forum on IB in the world so yes, it is wise to try out that search bar in the right top corner.
One more thing. What I noticed during my interviews is that the interviewer really likes it if you can genuintly talk about finance or the industry. I spent more time talking about how I pick stocks than anything else at most of my interviews. Those bankers (especially the senior ones) find that much more interesting than hearing you talk about a DCF or how you can determine whether a merger is Accretive or dilutive. Start reading the WSJ, FT, or Economist if you're not already doing so and never stop doing it. It will allow you to portray some real insight and knowledge about finance and business which will allow you to really stand out.
Thanks champ. This is what I was looking for. I have the guides and read the news often but I needed another opinion just in case I am missing anything. I think the reason those chimps were whining was because they were probably jealous.
Has to be a troll
Interviewed for GS IBD for full time. Know at least all the basics from BIWS guide (WSO if you have extra time, but definitely BIWS). It's unlikely you'll need to know anything about the markets/stock pitches, but it's possible. Be prepared for fit / potentially in-depth grilling on weak resume bullets
Thanks boss! Do you remember any specific questions they asked (technical/behavioral)?
