Based on the most helpful WSO content, it's crucial to prepare for a mix of behavioral and technical questions for your Goldman Sachs Public Sector & Infrastructure (PSI) Superday. While the specific context doesn't detail the PSI Superday, we can infer from the general advice given for GS Superdays that your preparation should include:
Behavioral Questions: Expect a strong focus on behavioral questions. These could range from "Why are you interested in public finance?" to "Describe a challenging situation and how you overcame it." It's essential to have a clear and compelling reason for why you're interested in public finance specifically. Reflect on your experiences, motivations, and what draws you to this sector.
Technical Questions: While the emphasis might be on behavioral aspects, you should still prepare for basic technical questions, especially around bonds given the nature of public finance. Understand the basics of bond valuation, the factors that influence bond prices, interest rates, and how bonds are used in public finance. Reviewing the fundamentals of municipal bonds, including tax-exempt status and different types of municipal bonds, could be particularly beneficial.
Situational Questions: Similar to other GS Superdays, you might encounter situational questions that assess your problem-solving and strategic thinking abilities. These could involve hypothetical scenarios related to public finance projects or bond issuance challenges.
Know Your Resume: Be prepared to discuss anything you've listed on your resume in depth, especially any previous internships, projects, or clubs related to finance or public sector work. Be ready to highlight your strengths and how they align with a career in public finance.
Questions to Ask: Have insightful questions prepared to ask your interviewers. This shows your genuine interest in the role and the public finance sector. Consider asking about recent public finance deals, challenges in the sector, or the team's approach to public projects.
Remember, the key to success in any Superday is thorough preparation, a clear understanding of your own experiences and motivations, and the ability to articulate how you can contribute to the team. Good luck, fellow chimp!
