GS PWM Superday
Does anyone have any insight?
Interview section on the company database/Glassdoor is pretty vague, with most saying the final round interviews are largely behavioral type questions. I have long/short stock pitches ready, regularly track the markets and current events, and have networked in with a number of employees in this office.
The interview is about a week and a half away, and I would appreciate any advice. Thanks!
PWM is primarily a sales-type job, so behavioral is really important.
NYC?
Not NYC, rather not say what city though
It can be Miami, Somewhere in Texas, Atlanta either way the interview will be the same all behavioral, they might ask you to tell them whats going on in the markets that's pretty much it. Be ready for all behaviorals and why GS! remember they only do ultra high net worth......
Analyst level? Mostly behavioral and simulated client scenarios. You should be comfortable talking about general trends in the market, have certain investment themes (not stock pitches), understand where the economy has been and have an opinion on where it's headed
SA, Junior at non target
Had one last year for PWM SA, it was all behavioral just talking through my resume seeing what type of person I was and why Goldman why PWM. My interviews didn't ask anything about the markets or stock pitches as that is not the type of role it really is.
My first round was almost entirely market based. Questions on where the major markets closed, YTD returns, Goldman's stock, and a stock pitch.
With that said, what type of behaviorals should I prepare for that would be more specific to the "sales" aspect of the job? I have the WSO behavioral guide and have prepared most of my responses with the help of the guide. Also have a pretty solid story backing up why GS and more specifically why their PWM.
I mean I am sure that all of the different offices run different types of interviews, but more so just like what do you do in your free time, tell me about a time when blah blah blah, why this specific city. It was over a year ago so I am blanking on the rest. Best of luck

Interview will most likely be a bit more technical than some of the other PWM ones you will run into but nothing too crazy. Know general asset allocation strategies, have a view on where the market is going and be able to back it up, possibly some basic accounting questions. They appreciate diversity in all aspects so make sure to try to get across why you are different and what you can bring to the table that others may not. Most importantly, be personable, try not to be stiff/rehearsed. Best of luck.
JENS88: Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it
