GS Global markets

Can anyone explain what global capital markets is and how is the process to get an interview at goldman sachs or any other firms? are there any technical questions or all behavioral very limited information on the division on this app and would love to learn more about it.

 

Based on the most helpful WSO content, Global Capital Markets (GCM) is a division within investment banking that focuses on initial public offerings (IPOs), follow-on offerings, private placements, and similar transactions. It's a critical link between companies seeking capital and investors looking for investment opportunities.

As for the interview process at Goldman Sachs, it's quite rigorous. Here's a brief overview based on the WSO Dataset:

  1. Apply through the company's website.
  2. Attend a general information webinar (this isn't a filter yet).
  3. If successful, you'll receive an email inviting you to the next round, which is a HireVue interview. This interview consists of general questions, like "walk me through your Resume," and situational ones like "What would you do if a client is asking you to do some unethical activities?" and "Tell me some IB or M&A you have heard recently."
  4. If you pass the HireVue interview, you might be invited to a "Virtual Cocktail" where you'll interact with Goldman Sachs employees, from Analysts to MDs. This is a chance to ask questions and learn more about the company.
  5. The final stage is a series of interviews.

The interview questions can be a mix of technical and behavioral, depending on the role and division you're applying to. It's always a good idea to prepare for both.

Remember, the process can vary between firms and roles, so it's always a good idea to do your research and prepare accordingly. Good luck!
