3.3 GPA FROM THE WORST NON-TARGET YOU'VE EVER SEEN REPORTING.
APP IS IN!
Bump
🐐 if they dont give you the first round its over for everyone else💔
HELP!
The email stated, 'Submit your interview by the due date on January 9 at 11:59 PM ET.' However, I believe my HireVue was submitted automatically by the system right at 12:00 AM on January 10th, as that is the time I received the email confirmation regarding my submission. Am I completely out of luck, and will they no longer consider my application?!
Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
doesn't sound like there's a chance
lfg u got this
Bump
Anyone got the HireVue questions yet lol
Fr 🙏
Bump this one
For the Investment Banking Summer Analyst:
(And please excuse my lapse of memory... I took it a few days ago - but here goes)
And you get thirty seconds to prepare, one-to-two minutes to answer - Enjoy, and good luck to you all!
How is gs opening this early this year wtfthey usually open March
Is this global or US only. I’m curious if SA 2026 has begun for London offices. If anyone can confirm, i would be grateful.
I'm at GS London, and absolutely can confirm we haven't even wrapped up SA'25. I've got ACs in my calendar next week.
No word on 2026 till August
.
in london do students still have to network for these IB internships?
they allow four applications, but how many should we actually apply for?
bump
I talked with them during a OCR they said you should apply to all of them that you want.
Bump
Are hirevues auto or selective ?
Selective
Based on what?
Source? Pretty sure it’s auto
Anyone got hirevue?
Anyone finished the HireVue yet? What were the questions like
i dont think hirevues are out
Haven’t heard either
Just applied but do not see anywhere to put your group preferences. Is this true for others?
I attended a recruiting session for AWM a few weeks ago and they said for both AM and PWM you can select subdivisions if you apply before certain deadlines
Thanks for the helpful reply. I assume this is the case for Classic/Financing for IB as well then since it looks like one application at the moment.
Nah, I'm 100 hundred they lied. They group chooses you, no say at all. Got a SD for AM and can't find anything about the subdivision.
Here for the updates
Guys please don't create multiple email addresses to apply to additional opportunities
Does this mean you can apply to 4 locations at the same time, or you can only apply to 1 location initially, but then can apply to a 2nd once the 1st one has been rejected?
you can apply to 4 at the same time and if u want to apply to a 5th or more you have to withdraw an app for each further app past 4
i think i messed up, i didnt submit a cover letter bc i thought banks don't read them. is it better to withdraw then resubmit with one?
Does being in ELS guarantee a first round?
almost everyone gets a hirevue (1st round). but, ELS will give you a great push. Think about it - they fly you to NYC, and spend money on you, coz they consider you as a prospective employee!!
bump
Anyone got the hirevue?
Did u get the Hirevue from your school team? Mine was just from GS and was signed “recruiting team” with no indication of my specific school. Don’t know if this effects it but im transfering to a target

Are HVs out? Is it just for IB or is it for all divisions
got hirevue but idk if its auto
Don’t think it’s auto - haven’t received one yet
I think it is auto because I didn't network and I just got it, later than the people above however. I assume its probably just a GPA threshold.
Nvm got it
would you be willing to share the hirevue questions? thank you!
got hv, semi-target (I think target for GS)
Just got my hirevue from IBD NYC position
Same

fr? that's harsh
Do you know the questions?
what are the questions?
^^^^
would you be willing to dm and share the questions? thx!
y'all, hirevue is not selective.
not everyone gets it
lol coming from a candidate who's been applying for 3 years straight (applied for london), this is the first time I received their hirevue lol so it's very selective
Are hirevues selective? Non-Middlebury NESCAC so not a target but just got an invite
The rolling HireVues are not selective to say, but they screen the normal things that a bank like GS would (high gpa, relevant experience, etc…) so if you didn’t get one it’s either because you didn’t pass initial screening, or you will get it soon.
-Coming from a connection in HR
got hv, what's the deadline to submit it?
mine says Jan 9th 11:59pm

.
same
Same
anyone at least willing to comment on how the q's were if they arent gonna share lol
If I just applied, how long should I expect to wait before I receive a possible hirevue?
I received the HireVue at around 1pm on the 6th. The link said to submit it within 3 days. Does this include the 6th (so would be due on the 8th) or does it mean 3 calendar days from when I received it (due on the 9th?)
mine says due date on January 9 at 11:59pm ET.
Anybody get hirevue from GS TMT SF?
Did you receive it?
nope did you?
just did
Me too
I received an email saying that I moved onto the hirevue and will get an email for hirevue but I never got an email from them. Is it because I only need to submit one hirevue for SF and NYC?
,
Anyone knows if S&T hirevues are out?
Wondering the same thing, I haven’t received yet
Anyone know if you get retries for each question?
I heard that you do not.

why would i know im just trying to see timing lol cuz they said est 30 min which seems rlly long
Anyone else get GS TO hirevue?
Just got Dallas and Houston hirevue, willing to pay anyone who can share questions!
...
I got an email saying I received hirevues from SF and NYC but I only got one hirevue link for NYC. Does anyone know if it's one hirevue for all locations or will I get the SF one in the coming days?

Anyone have an issue with being told you’d receive two hirevue’s but only getting one? For Dallas and Houston specifically
