Hi everyone,
I had a goldman superday yesterday afternoon, and I'm starting to be kind of cynical since I didn't hear back the day of. I have offers at a bunch of other top places, and they called the day of the interviews. Is this a bad sign, or would they wait until Monday? Thanks

It is a bad sign, I'm having the same experience... especially for Goldman, because no one is going to turn them down. Therefore if you are not the first batch of people they call, your chances aren't good. But you got these other offers, so congrats....
It happens more than you would think. Kids at my school have turned them down consistently for other opportunities.
Probably a bad sign... A lot of my friends got phone calls the day of or the next day if they got an offer (not GS though, but other BB's nonetheless).
Goldman's HR can be ridiculous. Last time, I had to call them to schedule to interview (with 3 hours' notice) even though my first interviewer told me that I aced the first round.
I was also told that if you put them under pressure, they're more likely to ding you. Urban legend maybe.
Has anyone gotten offers already? I was told we would hear Monday/Tuesday, regardless of the outcome, but that's probably not true...
it was on a friday though...so i'm not sure. the interviews were honestly very difficult. i'm not sure what they were looking for exactly, since there's no way a college person could have known all that stuff.
Friend got an offer last night, it may depend on the group though. Good luck and hope you guys hear back soon.
Was your friend a junior or sophomore?
1st: It's quite true few people turn down Goldman because.. well, it's Goldman! But their HR may want to be sure about other considerations before calling
2nd: Not necessarily a bad sign: wait until Monday! I got an offer 2 days later! However, all my interviewers replied to my thank you notes quite quickly saying I was well suited for their division. So if you really feel you've aced the interviews + you've got positive feedback informally, just be a little more patient! I'd start to worry Tuesday night if I were you
