How much does networking matter for Goldman Sachs nyc
Gonna go out on a limb here and say a lot lol
It matters but if you make a solid connection then sometimes depending on who it is, you can get forced into the process
Does anybody know when we hear about hirevues??
got my hirevue link today
same here
Anybody know much about the HelloResume or HelloHive resume they had emailed me to use to apply?
anyone received hirevue yet?
Nah but I think they're gonna start coming out this week.
Does everyone get hirevue?
Just got CHI HV
Someone just posted 2027 investment banking Houston. Why is this process so weird?
Did anyone get LA Hirevue?
Yes
did you network for LA office, did no networking so a little surprised
does anyone know what the questions/hv vibes are? Lol
been looking seems mostly behavioral. worried its not like other hirevues and only get one try per question. if anyone can confirm that would be great
Is hirevue out for NYC and SF??
Bump
Yes I just got it for San Fran
Anyone gotten NYC IB hirevue?
did you get it
Bump
0 retrys is heinous
What location??
What type of questions did they ask you?
what was it like?
I didnt do it, thats what it is meant to be though. 0 Retrys
Is it just LA out or NYC too?
Think everything but all NYC roles are out.
Meaning? Sorry I did not follow.. Are some NYC roles out?
so NYC is not out?
Nothing from NYC is out. Everything else is out seems like.
Got Chicago hirevue as well
If I didn't get a hirvue for IB NY, am i out of the running? Or are they doing this in batches
BUMP
also curious
just got NYC IB hirevue. Is it selective? non target
Bruh I didn't get it
Will they send out different hirevues for different locations?
bump
yes they do
Just got nyc ib hirevue. Is it auto?
just got a HV too for NY IBD. did their ELS though. to my knowledge not selective, most people get. they are doing in batches so no need to worry for at least 1-2 days if you dont get
I applied jan 1 and i just got
Source re batches?
Wdym
apologies, no concrete source, just went off of last year's process
Did you do it yet? How did it go/what were the questions? Thanks!
i was ELS too IBD, did the Higerview. When should we expect superday invites
I got hirevue for GS latam but not for main GS application. Can I get a separate hirevue or is this it?
anyone doing am here? did ELS but haven’t heard back
Same.
Haven't heard back from AM. I did virtual insight series
Bro if they let me wait til Jan 16 im flipping out
Are all NY/SF ones out or will they keep rolling out throughout the week
just got mine for SF a few minutes ago. Waiting for NYC too
Just got one for SF but didn't get NYC lol. Anyone knows if NYC still releases any more batches?
Was the first app you sent in for SF?
no I applied for NYC first
Me too
Has anyone gotten one for Dallas?
Yeah just did
Yes
Does everyone get hirevues (I got SF)
Is it safe to assume we're cooked if we didn't receive a HV? (target)
Think so. Did ELS and didn't get it. From target too. 4.0 w/ referral.
Same, didn't do ELS, but target w/ referrals. sad.
maybe it's in batches
Applied for IBD in NYC, SF, Chicago with strong networking at all. Have only received SF. Are Chicago and NYC completely released?
Also applied NYC & SF, only received SF. Assuming NYC is still getting sent out.
Can confirm–just received mines.
Yet to receive NYC hirevu, am I cooked
I am worried and I didn't get it. Multiple refferals.
Did you get the hirevue?
Just got it. Definitely in batches.
Definitely rolling in waves. I got in at 2 places. Emails came about 3 hours apart.
did anyone hear back and applied jan 2nd?
i did not hear back either
I applied Jan 4 got it in an hour ago so it’s definitely in batches
I got the email but it said the hirevue is coming in the coming days. I didn’t get it immediately. I know some people have already taken it. Does this mean I was not a top priority applicant?
possibly just a timeline issue? I think you'll hear earlier if you applied on Jan 1st compared to Jan 4th
Same for me. Starting to think if maybe this means something..Got the hirevue right away fro Chicago, but not NY (they said it would come in a few days).
do u know what the questions were like for the ppl who have taken it alr
anyone get AM/WM hirevue for the NY office?
I havent yet but also applied. Have you gotten it?
I haven't either
Seems like hirevue is auto for GS
What’s the acceptance rate for a hirevue to get to superday? Does a referral help push?
Bump
referral certainly helps
If I applied to both IB and S&T does this mean that my Hirevue will be for both? The email inviting me to Hirevue only said IB though: Please be prepared to answer the questions about the areas of the firm to which you applied. If you applied for multiple opportunities, your interview will include questions from each business.
its for all areas u applied
anyone have HV questions for IB GS NY?
Bump
were you able to find the questions?
Are hirevues only out for IB or are they also out for Asset and Private Wealth Management too?
Just got my HV link for PWM
which office?
did you also apply to IB? did you get a separate HireVue for that?
Did you do it? Do you mind sharing questions pls?
What were the questions on your hirevuew
just got for am
Same
anyone know hire view questions for Dallas IB?
nah but i got the hv request and from what im reading it looks to be a mix of behavioral/technical (mostly behavioral with a 1-2 technical Qs)
Do you know if the time frame is less than 3 days for Dallas?
Did anyone get S&T hirevue?
Bump
did anyone finish their HV questions? if so, what did they mainly consist of
How long till we hear back from the HireVue? When do SDs start to come out?
Bumping, esp curious about PWM and AM
This is what my friend told me he got, but idk if they change? Can sb confirm?
Was this for Investment Banking and where?
No
because q5 says "compliance question" i would assume that they applied for a compliance sa position. i think your best bet would be to assume 1-2 technicals for your division + the behaviorals listed here.
what are you gaining from posting this
If he wants to help others then so what?
Is this for real?
Is this for IB? Can anyone confirm?
No
hi did anyone get the hirevue for quant?
for asset and wealth management? yes
Did you do it yet? And do you mind sharing the questions pls?
does anyone know if we complete separate hirevues for each role we applied for? or if its just one for all?
it is separate for each role
It's one for all
del
Yup, applications are closed.
anyone get S&T GS hirevue?
I got an email saying i got selected for the nyc hirevue and that it’d be sent in the coming days but have not gotten it yet.
Anyone in the same boat?
yep
Has anyone done the PWM HireVue yet?
Did anyone here do HireVue for Toronto? If so what was the questions you got?
Finished NY IB HV had 6 questions, 5 behavioral, and 1 deal question, only one attempt. Wasn't hard just be prepared.
what were the questions about, if you remember?
Got Dallas HV, anyone else ?
Anyone got the email saying that you got the hirevue but not the email with the hirevue link itself? It's been 2 days for me for asset management
i got a HV email from GS for all four of the things i applied to; i've only received my link for IB so far...
It’s one hv for all divisions
Has anyone received a HV for s&t?
Chicago IB Hirevue — anyone know what the questions are like? I assume a mix of behavioral & technical
No techs
Have heard a few NY TMT offers have gone out.
alr?
