Goldman Sachs Veterans Integration Program (VIP) 2017
Hello all!
I didn't see any one mentioning the Goldman Sachs VIP 2017 yet so I will do the honor and start a thread for it. From my understanding, VIP 2016 and the program in the years preceding it had a three stage vetting system:
1.) Phone Interview
2.) Phone Interview with a VP or MD
3.) Super-day
The division and offices I applied to are:
NYC- Investment Banking
San Francisco and Chicago- Investment Management
Unlike the program in the previous years, I have just received my first interview invite but on HireVue instead of a phone interview. Basically, I have to record my answers to the two questions provided to me in the interview invitation.
I hope there are more individuals on WSO who have applied to this program so we can share our experiences!
I am applying to the program as well. I was wondering if a thread would show up for this years program. I received the hireVue invite as well and was planning on conducting the interview tomorrow. I am actually deployed and am buying a suit today for this thing as every where I have read suggested you dress as if it is an in person interview.
I put down GIR, IM and Operations all for NY/NJ. Are you coming off of or going into a MBA program to have selected IBD? My real desire for #2 and #3 selection would have been IBD, but after speaking with people within the company many of the details didn't seem to be clear enough to try and pursue from a non-MBA grad background.
Yes, I am hoping for MBA admissions for Fall 2017. I think for the most part if you have been given an invite for your division choices, the division must have shown some interest in your resume during the resume screen. I am seriously hoping for the best because IBD was the reason why I started pursuing a MBA.
I did my interview today. It feels a lot more normal if you do a bunch of practice runs on windows movie maker or on the practice questions. Hope it goes well for you guys!
Bump. Anybody heard anything? Also, Beat Navy!
Got the email to punt the decision as well. Last year's forum made it seem as though those that received the delayed decision were effectively waitlisted until interview invitees accepted/declined.
Hey all, while we sit here waiting I figured I would let everyone know I received an email from Bank of America and their VAP program is the same dates as GS in NYC. It opens for applications in January. WFC is open for applications now as well. No matter what happens, there are back up options! Good luck to all, hopefully we all hear good news today.
Haven't posted previously but was lurking this thread. I got an email at 4:17pm saying I wasn't selected for an in-person interview but that they would continue to review applications through Jan 9. Sounds like a no thanks, waitlist is a best case scenario. So it goes.. good luck to everyone still in it!
