Have you ever had a post-Superday phone interview...yes AFTER the Superday
Just wondering has Goldman pulled with crazy tactic with any of you on here. It would be exciting to hear just how crazy that must have been because it just happened to me after being put on hold. Needless to say....I was shocked that I still don't even know the situation.
I have had four interviews with Goldman for this one position. One on-campus interview, a superday consisting of three interviews and a post-Superday phone interview. My result exactly one week later is still up in the air. This is just unbelievable....and I thought it couldn't get any worse than having the Superday cancelled on me last year.
I actually had a friend going for S&T at Goldman be brought up to NYC 3 or 4 different times. It was pretty insane, and sadly he didn't get the offer.
I had a superday on a Monday that ended at about 2pm. On the way back to school they called me for a phone interview with a MD. Received an offer the next afternoon.
yeah
I had a phone interview with HR, then a phone interview with a VP on a different day, then a superday with 5-6 back to back interviews with people of all different ranks and then I got rejected but I was told that I'd have to fly to NYC for the third round if I proceed further and then AGAIN to the office I was applying for. I was like what the hell guys, this is just a waste of money...
GS (different division) I had a phone interview with an associate, followed with another one with another associate (each was 1 hr long), then meeting with 2 VPs, a phone interview with an MD... then REJECT!
ouch donk you had it worse than I did. I guess I just have to wait.
Guys, you don't even imagine how well you have it with analyst/summer analyst level interview process.\ When in the future you will be interviewing as a lateral hire for senior analyst or experienced associate level roles, you will have MANY rounds of MANY interviews in each round. :)
That said, if you talk to several banks as a lateral hire applicant and do reasonably well, in total you may easily have 50-60 interviews or even more, and that is WITHOUT known in advance schedule of the process and WITHOUT knowing whether or not there will be other rounds in each of the banks you talk to, neither knowing when you will be given feedback/decision :)
got a goldman offer after 2 superdays
Did you get an offer in the end?
with so many interviews how do they come up with so many technical / fit questions that they don't start to repeat / overlap? Can you give us some examples of some fit/techs you were asked?
There's a crazy amount of overlap, actually.
For my GS interviews, there were 7 interviews total for each of the positions I applied for, and they were more or less the same behavioral/ market analysis questions over and over again.
Sounds like a waste of time and money on their part... but I suppose fit plays a huge part.., Hell what do I know, this is Goldman Sachs we're talking about.
They're notorious for it.
My sophomore year, I had my first round interview, then a superday with 11 back to back 30-minute interviews. Got the offer though.
interview AFTER superday at a BB (Originally Posted: 10/10/2015)
What would be a reason why anyone would be invited for an interview AFTER superday? Anyone have any tips for this situation or ever experience this? ?
What do you mean? Details
they referred to it as a superday, but the "interview" before that was a call with someone in HR.
First interview went really well, second interview (even though questions were a lot simpler, nothing technical) didn't go as well. I came off as a bit nervous.
Sounds pretty strange. I would think this is one of two things:
1) The first "superday" wasn't really a superday and just an onsite interview, unless they referred to it as such. 2) They are deciding between 2-3 candidates and can't make up their mind so they are essentially using this as a tiebreaker.
Either way it doesn't really matter, just do your best, prepare, and try to get the offer whether theres one round of interview or eight.

Additional interviews after Assessment Centres/ superday (Originally Posted: 02/04/2013)
Hey monkeys,
I've attended an AC (UK version of a superday) in London for S&T at JPM/GS/MS recently. After waiting for quite sometime I've got a call from a recruiter saying that I've done well, but they want to see me for additional interviews in the next couple of days.
What do I take from this? Good, bad, neutral?
Thanks guys,
John Travolta (not actually)
This is common for full-time roles since you won't usually be given the job straight after an AC. The appropriate team(s)/desk(s) doing the hiring will want to all meet you to assess your fit. If it's after a summer intern AC then I'm not sure what that means...
Called back after superday,now what? (Originally Posted: 07/12/2013)
hey guys, I have a quick question. I interviewed with another group at GS (1st one felt i would be better for group 2.. and took 3+ weeks t set up in-person with 2nd group) lasted +5 hrs (earlier this morning). Was notified a few hours after that they want me back there next week.. so what does this actually mean? (ps. I'm a 'lateral' candidate for technology group) what should I expect? Looking for real answers.. save the jokes, thanks in advance
Probably just a final check that you are a good fit with the group. You will most likely meet with the team members that you have not met yet, so they can sign off on you or raise any doubts. I would bet on some basic fit conversational questions.
Thanks. Yesterday i spoke with 3-4 VPs and spent over an hour with the MD. Mostly technical interview and about past experience. So your basically saying the next round is behavioral?
I would think so. If they invited you back after what you say was a very lengthy and technical interview, that probably means that you meet their requirements from a technical standpoint. But at GS they have a culture of making sure that all of the members of the group are okay with you joining, because as many threads on wso will tell you, it is incredibly important to not have personality conflicts when you are together for a large percentage of the time that you are awake.
Now, having said that, I said it was "most likely" that the questions will be fit based, but they could always talk to you about technicals as well, but based on what you have said here, I do not think this is a problem for you.
What group is this for (i know you said tech, but perhaps you could be more specific) just out of curiosity? Feel free to PM me if you don't want to post here, or if you do not want to disclose, I understand, not a problem.
Phone Interview AFTER SA Superday (Originally Posted: 12/05/2014)
I recently had a SA superday with a BB for ER. Yesterday I received a call from a recruiter saying that I will be having another phone interview with a VP/MD next week. Thoughts on why they want to do this?
Any input would be much appreciated!
They want you to talk to someone else/someone else wants to talk to you. Only reasons I can think of are a) this person is pretty involved in recruiting in general/sits on the team they are recruiting for but was unable to meet you during your superday and wants to have a chat with you and b) they are on the fence about you and want another opinion
Second opinions mean a lot...could be wanting to see if you're a fit as well...I know an analyst that turned down a really bright guy because he was "too nerdy" ...remember, these guys want people that can "fit" their culture and personalities as well.
Thanks for the responses. The recruiter did tell me that it shouldn't be longer than a half hour interview, so I'm assuming that it is probably a second opinion on my fit with the bank.
Update: I ended up getting the offer!
Yankeedoodle1 - Congrats!!!!
Yankee, can you comment on what your final phone interview was like?
Very curious about this interview as well. Would appreciate anyone sharing their similar experiences.
The first two responses were on the money. A follow up phone interview after a superday usually indicates they're on the fence about a candidate, or more often deciding between two candidates. It's usually short, fit based, and with somebody senior. The senior person usually decides off their instinct. Make or break for sure.
