Goldman Sachs Graduate Programme 2026 - London

Hi everyone, any information on current process?

How many external condaidates could be recruited?

Was this SA analyst class performance good, with high return rate?

How many time before Hirevue/Superdays?

Is it the same format as the one for SA roles (3*30min interviews)?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, there isn't specific information available about the Goldman Sachs Graduate Programme 2026 in London, including the exact number of external candidates recruited or the return rate of the SA analyst class. However, here are some insights from previous discussions and threads:

  1. Interview Format: For full-time roles in London IBD, the interview process has been described as consisting of 3 x 30-minute interviews, which aligns with the format used for SA roles. These interviews typically include a mix of technical and fit questions, though the balance may vary depending on the team.

  2. Timeline Before HireVue/Superdays: While exact timelines for the 2026 program aren't detailed, prior threads suggest that candidates often face a HireVue stage before progressing to Superdays. The time between these stages can vary, but delays or holds (e.g., post-Superday decisions) have been noted in past years.

  3. SA Analyst Class Performance: Historically, return rates for SA classes can influence the number of external hires for full-time roles. However, specific return rates for recent SA classes aren't provided in the context.

If you're preparing for the process, it might be helpful to focus on technical preparation, behavioral questions, and networking, as these are consistently emphasized in WSO discussions.
