Based on the most helpful WSO content, Goldman Sachs' lateral hiring process can be notoriously slow and inconsistent. Many users have reported waiting weeks or even months for updates, with some experiencing ghosting altogether. For example, in the lateral IBD process, candidates have shared that they waited over two months after a superday without hearing back. Additionally, the process often involves multiple rounds of interviews, and updates can be delayed due to the firm's centralized and overburdened system.

If you haven't heard back yet, it's not unusual. It might be worth following up with a recruiter or networking contact if you have one. Patience is key with GS processes, but staying proactive can sometimes help.
