GS VP # of Interviews

When interviewing to join Goldman as a VP, how many interview rounds and total interviewers are there typically? Note this is not going through Super Day - this is through application to an advertised position. Yes, also have networked, and yes have already had initial interviews. Also, any sense of overall timing from initial contact to offer? I've heard GS has its own approach, and it can be long - anyone able to provide recent numbers (a range) around this?

Ignore title.

Not GS. But a BB. Lateraled to a VP position. I'm going through my emails now to give an accurate timeline.

Initial Contact: 1 month from application date

First Interview: 7 days from initial contact

Second Interview: 5 days from first interview

Third Interview: 2 days from second interview

Verbal Offer: 1 month from third interview

Immigration Review: 2 months from third interview

Paper Offer: 1 month from immigration review completion.

Total from application to paper offer: close to 5 months.

Note that this is for an international applicant. YMMV.
