Applications haven't opened... Only people at top targets/diversity have received super days and interviews. Was told that GS would not accelerate this year even when I had a top EB and top BB (MS/JPM) exploding offer. 

 

No. Non-diversity as well but this is a very select group almost exclusively at targets.

I got the same thing. I got one email claiming mock interview and a second email saying this: 

Thank you for applying to Goldman Sachs. You are invited to participate in a pre-recorded video interview, powered by HireVue. Please complete your interview by July 5, 2021.

Please be prepared to answer questions related to the specific division(s) to which you applied. You can find out which divisions are reviewing your interview by logging into the candidate portal at any time. The individuals who review your interview submission are trained members of our team; we never use an algorithm. You can prepare for your interview and learn about who we are and what we do on our careers website at goldmansachs.com/careers.

 

It's a mock interview. Click the invite and it literally says 2021 insight series- Mock Hirevue. It's only 1 question too. "In which division are you most interested and why?" It definitely doesn't matter, so I just submitted a video of my dick. It's not like they'll watch this shit.

Guys stop saying you received the HV. I'm also in insight series and it's absolutely meaningless. The curriculum literally said everyone in insight series is getting a HV to practice for the real thing. It's a mock HV and not in any way correlated to the application process. It's only 1 question and when you click the invitation, it specifically says "Summer 2021 Insight Series- Mock Hirevue".

 

Just to make sure this is correct- if we're applying for 2022 internships then we select 2022 as recruiting year right? Not 2021 but technically our recruiting process is this year so not 100% sure

 

At first I was fucked up because I was on 2021. Then switched to 2022 and realized I was still fucked

 

Feel like it shows the opposite. People are willing to suck dick to work at the Goldman Sachs

 

Neither. This is the Goldman Sachs we are talking about. Nothing comes easy. Even peeing and shitting becomes massively hard when Goldman is at stake

 

I think Merchant banking would be either its own division or under asset management, but I don't think its available yet (like IBD rn it seems)

 

I checked again, and I still don't see it. Do you think that it's under Asset Management > Investing? I am pretty sure that applicants were allowed to select Merchant Banking > Real Estate Investing or Equity Investing last year.

 

Any benefits to submitting a cover letter? What do people think?

 

They have IB right now but it's only for the summer associate roles. Might be time to level up boys. Wish me luck

 

I'm waiting till midnight CST and if it's not there I'm calling it for the night. God damn it 

 

Anyone else not seeing the correct divisions/sub-divisions under each office? SF only has S&T, NY does not have IB. I assume we just have to wait...

 

Genuine question, why are you all trying to submit the app the moment it opens? I know you're supposed to apply fast, but would you really lose anything by doing it when you wake up tomorrow?

 

I think it depends, but usually not worth the risk. You could get both pulled and end up with no offers. 

 

I'm in the same boat, I accepted an offer at a BB a few months ago but GS is my dream job. I don't see how I'll be able to turn down a GS offer should i get it so I guess I'll have to hope for the best. If i end up getting an offer I'll try to be careful about posting on LinkedIn and telling other people and hope that the other BB doesn't find out. Fingers crossed I have that problem lol.

 

This is just very unprofessional of GS hr unless they are just not hiring for these two divisions

They take a few SA's. Small office, but they work with big companies in the NW like Amazon, also lots of work with the SF TMT group. 

 

not exactly sure at GS in particular, but most investment bankers have told me that in general there is an email chain between the alumni at the firm and they talk about conversations they've had with candidates and which ones they like. I also think that alum watch your hirevue if you make it to the next round probably but this is what I've gathered I'm not 100% sure

 

If you spoke with a head of a division, does that give you good chance at getting the HV? Or do they have no say in the process. I'm non-target non-diversity

 

Anyone know when first round decisions are made / first rounds are sent out? How fast is the turnaround after the app opens?
