GS IBD Hirevue - WTF?
What the fuck was that?
By far the hardest hirevue I have ever taken. So many in depth behaviorals, and with 1:30 to get your entire point across. What did you guys think?

Will send nudes for questions
Are you a girl? I would normally ask if you would consider yourself hot but its been a long quarantine and I have no standards rn.
I'm a guy. Still a deal if i send my ex's nudes?
Buddy just go on the hub
Am hot girl will send nudes for questions
Agreed dude. Hard asf. The multi-step part of every question made it hard to plan and organize thoughts
Any chance you can PM me? Thanks!
Nope. Why would I want to give you an advantage of knowing the questions when I myself didn't know them? Jesus the people on this site make me sick. Like there's literally one user on the GS NY IBD thread that has posted 50 comments begging for the HV questions. I get that you're trying to get an advantage and if I could've found a sucker to give it to me, I would as well. Sadly, I am not that sucker.
I felt the questions were okay. I wished they gave us more time to prep rather than just 30 seconds
Well yeah that's what made it hard. Low prep time plus packed questions equals no bueno.
Hey, on the hirevue, were you forced to go one question after the other, or could you complete a question, stop, and then move on. Please let me know as soon as possible. Thanks.
Bro wtf was that. I just did it and I feel like I definitely fucked up. Also there’s another another thread on this with a bunch of bs questions, either they shuffle all the Q’s and just decided to fuck me or everyone else is lying.
mine was one on markets and two behaviorals one on a teammate and another on a deal im watching. You?
Any chance you can PM me? You seem like a trustworthy person and would love to talk more. Thanks.
People are lying bro. Bunch of snakes on that thread. I don't think they shuffle questions. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to compare responses and for JPM and MS everyone got the same ones.
What were the questions? - examples
"How many golfballs could you hold in your mouth?" Thought it was a consulting-type question but tbh now I'm just confused
LOL
they tryna figure out who can give that good sloppy toppy
Did you hit a submit button at the end to submit all questions. Forgot if there was one
You should’ve gotten an email confirming that you’ve submitted your HiRevue
bump idk either now. Dont think I got an email. Was there a submit button at the end
Lmao all these people asking for questions. It defeats the purpose of the Hirevue. It tests your ability to think quickly. That’s why you are given 30 seconds to prepare an answer. If you can’t even do this how are you going to perform in the superday if you progress that far.
Yeah exactly lol. SD is basically HV on steroids because there's no prep time or retries. Crazy one dude is willing to give $300 per question.
i can sell all hirevue questions i had so far for 1 question per $300 lmaoooooooooooooo
wrote down all questions for MS, GS, JPMC, BlackRock, etc. - so I'll easily get a few thousands lmaooooo
Supers in my experience are a lot easier. It is so unnatural trying to articulate an answer without any live feedback.
Communication is a 2 way avenue.
I agree. These assholes saying that a hirevue is much easier than a superday are idiots.
Superdays are much more holistic, you’re able to drive the interview, make a connection with the interviewer, etc.
Hirevues are one and done. if you stutter or answer wrong, you’re most likely dinged.

I’m pretty sure last year someone took a screenshot of a kids Venmo who was trying to buy/sell HV questions...And posted it on this site...just saying you all should be careful and do things the right way
On a scale of 1-10, how well did y'all perform on that HireVue? Am I the only one that tried to stay calm which resulted in me BSing my answers and bombing it?
Can you dm me? I completed the hirevue and want to talk to someone about my answers.
Nice try man
Hey, on the hirevue, were you forced to go one question after the other, or could you complete a question, stop, and then move on. Please let me know as soon as possible. Thanks.
You can stop
Everyone is compaining about how difficult GS hirevues are but how is GS suppose to make cuts for super days when hundreds of students have their polished exaggerated story ready for "a time when you worked with a difficult teammate". GS offer rate is ~2% if you look at how many get offers and how many apply. Sorry if it's not what you want to hear but if you consider yourself within the top 2% of applicants then you need to knock down any question that comes your way because others will.
It's probably a lot lower than that. If you count every person who failed every single stage (including, I assume, killer questions) for every person who got an offer, I wouldn't be suprised if it were 200:1 to 500:1. I know the gap between 1/200 and 1/500 is big but they don't hire many people and it's an extremely popular bank and company among people who understand finance and people who don't. Remember that absolutely anyone can apply, not just the people you think will apply.
i'd sell them lol, probably not getting a super so whats the harm
I'm trying to prep for a GS hirevue (hopefully) I get one, can you PM me so that you can kind of tell me how your experience went? Maybe best way to prep?

I only got the morals question
Hey, on the hirevue, were you forced to go one question after the other, or could you complete a question, stop, and then move on. Please let me know as soon as possible. Thanks.
which role is this for? Early Careers? If so, which skillset? thank you
yikes that was a rough hirevue I felt like for most questions I only used up like a min to answer the questions:/ I wonder what quality of answers they’re looking for to move on to superday... did anyone feel like they killed this hirevue lmaoo lmk
--
Were they more of "Tell me a time when..." or "What would you do in this situation..." type questions? I never ended up getting a Hirevue invite so just wondering why everyone is stressing lol
The latter. The challenge was the detail of the scenarios so definitely would have been screwed if you tried to rely on any of your typical “tell me about a time when” scripts. I think they were trying to get people to think on their feet.
Never felt worse about an interview ever in my life
,
Nice try. Everyone knows they can send out multiple waves and HCM has stated they will be doing so throughout July.
I submitted the answers on 11:57pm and at 11:59 it still did not finish uploading. I refreshed the page and it's gone. Never got a confirmation email. Should I start panicking now
List of things that are stupid:
1) these HireVue questions
2) you for submitting a HireVue just two mintues before it's due
The Hirevues were due on 11:59 EST and we're currently on EDT which means you submitted it an hour late lol attention to detail is key my man
is this a joke yo
I am surprised you even got a HV in the first place.
Yo when I first saw “8 questions remaining” I was like shit I’m definitely not ready. I then realized later that the last 3 questions at the end where division specific and I kinda regretted applying to divisions that I wasn’t interested in. it could undermine my entire HV and I was quite drained at the end. Definitely the longest hv I’ve ever done
Did anyone get to the superday? I'm currently feeling the same about my HV, just wondering about your outcomes.
Still waiting for my answer. It says Hirevue Completed in the Application Status in their website.
Hey I applied to GS Frankfurt off cycle in IBD and was wondering if they ask questions in German?
