GS SF 2026 SA - Application Still "Under Consideration"?
Applied to Goldman Sachs 2026 Summer Analyst positions back in January 2025. My New York IBD application was rejected post-HireVue, but surprisingly, my San Francisco IBD application still shows "Under Consideration" even though it's now September.
Is this just a system that was never updated? Has anyone else experienced these extended "Under Consideration" periods with GS? Trying to figure out if I should continue networking for the SF office or if this is essentially a soft reject and I should focus my efforts elsewhere.
Based on the most helpful WSO content, it's not uncommon for Goldman Sachs' application systems to show "Under Consideration" for extended periods, even when decisions have already been made. This could be due to delays in updating the system or a backlog in processing applications. However, it’s also possible that your application is still being reviewed, especially if the SF office operates on a different timeline or has specific hiring needs.
Given the uncertainty, it’s wise to continue networking with professionals in the SF office. Networking can help you gain clarity on your application status and potentially open doors for other opportunities. At the same time, it’s practical to diversify your efforts and explore other firms or roles to ensure you’re not overly reliant on one outcome.
