Based on the most helpful WSO content, here's what you need to know about the Goldman Sachs Summer Analyst (SA) recruiting process:

  1. Application Timeline: Applications for the 2027 SA program are expected to open in 3 days. Be prepared to submit your application as early as possible to maximize your chances.

  2. HireVue Process:

    • After applying, you will likely receive an invitation to complete a HireVue video interview.
    • The interview typically includes 3-5 questions, with 30 seconds to prepare and up to 2 minutes to respond.
    • Questions are often behavioral but may occasionally include technical ones, depending on the division you're applying to.
    • Practice is key! HireVue offers unlimited practice trials, so take advantage of this feature to get comfortable with the format.
  3. Superday:

    • If you perform well on the HireVue, you may be invited to a Superday.
    • Superdays usually consist of multiple 30-minute interviews with various team members. These interviews can be technical, behavioral, or a mix of both.
    • Networking and preparation are crucial. Review technical concepts and behavioral questions thoroughly.
  4. Tips for Success:

    • Network: Reach out to alumni, current employees, or anyone in your network who can provide insights or referrals.
    • Prepare for Behavioral Questions: Use the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to structure your answers.
    • Technical Prep: If you're applying for investment banking, ensure you're familiar with valuation methods, financial modeling, and market trends.
    • Follow Up: After interviews, send thank-you emails to express your appreciation and reiterate your interest.

For more detailed preparation, consider exploring WSO's Investment Banking Interview Course, which includes over 10+ hours of videos, 200+ technical questions, and 127+ behavioral questions with answers.
