Interviewed By A Goldman Baddie - Am I Cooked?

Hey Monkeys!

Today I woke up at 7am in Manhattan, ripped my TMAY, Why IB, and Why Goldman Sachs for an hour straight to shake off the nerves before heading over to the office for my superday. I got to the office and HR told me to wait in a room for the VP.

An instant later, an absolute dime, Naomi from Wolf of Wall Street, baddie-of-my-dreams walks in (but not a normal walk, more like a slow motion Victoria Secret model walk). She sat down and with a smile said “thanks for flying here to interview with us,” to which I immediately replied, “you too!” She looked at me funny but laughed it off.

The rest of the interview was meh (I couldn’t focus, kept trying to mew to compensate but got lightheaded doing this and forgot a couple questions mid answer).

At the end of the interview, I tried to ask for her email (to send a thank you follow up), but accidentally asked for her number (Freudian slip). She said no.

Am I cooked? Other three superday rounds went great for context. I always thought Moelis had all the 10/10s, never expected to get rocked like this in a GS interview.

Also for reference I’m a LTN trying to reach MTN.

Not always. I had an in person round with them. My uncle was playing golf with 2 of the MDs and they invited me to join. Pretty standard 2 hour panel, a bit windy, but I still hit below par
