How Long to Hear back from Goldman Sachs after an Interview?

I recently went on a job interview at GS for as a lateral hire. I was scheduled to meet with two people, one was a VP the other an associate. The interview lasted for about an hour and 15 minutes. After finishing speaking with the second person he went to see if one or two of the other people was available, but came back a few minutes later to say that they weren't free for an interview. The associate thanked be for coming in, hoped to have the other team members speak with me and then said I would hear from them shortly.

My question is how do you guys think this went based upon what I said above and how long does it usually take for them to get back to you?

Response Time After GS Interview

Generally, you will hear back from a front office GS super day within three days. However, some users found out less than 2 hours after their interview but some have said that the wait time can be between 1 week to 1 month.

Our users shared experiences below.

DeltaNeutreFor a long-term internship, they told after the interview they would get back to "within 1 week". Three weeks later, nothing. Called them and got the offer in 5 minutes. I always keep thinking what if I hadn't called them, maybe I would never got the offer. So always call, never email or wait.

For a long-term internship, they told after the interview they would get back to "within 1 week". Three weeks later, nothing. Called them and got the offer in 5 minutes. I always keep thinking what if I hadn't called them, maybe I would never got the offer. So always call, never email or wait.

But in your case, it's still quite early, wait till Wednesday then call up.
