has everyone had informational interviews yet when does that start
bump
Is that a first round? Or just a conversation about the division before the formal recruiting process?
I think it’s their version of a first round cuz they don’t do phone calls
Applications are up on the GS career portal!
July first comences!!!
Did anyone apply yet? I just checked the application and I could not apply.
Cant find certain location (LA, Toronto, London, ...) any info on that?
Did anyone apply yet? I cannot start my application.
same
Yea I finished my app like 30 min ago
It worked for me a few hours ago.
del
Might be a dumb question but does "Recruiting Year" refer to the year in which the internship takes place? It's asked under the Position Preference section.
To anyone wondering - the answer is yes
There wasn't an option to submit a cover letter?
GS stopped requiring them because they don't even read them
facts
does everyone get a hirevue
No. GS is pretty selective with giving Hirevues because the process is Hirevue-> Superday
okay when should we expect to get the hirevue after submission?
has anyone got a hirevue yet?
Not me
I’ve heard people getting the hirevue - wait jk
Applied a few days ago and still haven't gotten a HireVue. Anyone know when they are supposed to go out?
Deadline to apply is 12th. Hirevues come out after
Where did you see this? Thanks!
Do all applicants get a Hirevue?
no. it’s very selective for gs
basically their first round
i haven’t applied yet bc i am waiting time network a bit more with people that work at GS, should i just submit my app?
You should submit, goldman is rolling. you can always network after you've submitted as well
Have hirevues been sent out yet for SF IBD?
Are Hirevues for NY IBD out?
Bump^
bump
I completed a hirevue for mbd this Thursday. how long does it take to hear back?
what location for MBD?
was it for equity investing or RE investing
Is it true GS hirevue's are more situational (i.e. they describe a situation and you respond what you would do in that situation) rather than behavioral (tell me about a time .... etc)? Are they looking for common sense situation answers or creative ones?
Situational and Behavioral are almost the same thing. They don't really care about the answer itself, but rather how you conduct yourself during the Hirevue.
Thanks for the reply. Do you know how GS hirevue's are screened? Is it true that 1 analyst views it and 1 HR person views it and ranks it? Or is it merely a screener where most common sense answers proceed to a superday?
someone on another thread claims to have gotten a IBD NY hirevue invite last Friday. Not sure if he's lying or not. Has anyone else gotten it?
They’re lying
Some of my friends have gotten a hirevue for NY IBD but they also applied to other divisions so that might be why
yeah I think that’s why^^
.
did anybody got an email from the Campus Recruitment team thanking you for attending to an event at 4:30am?
yea I did like 10 emails lol think it was a glitch
just got a hirevue
same here
hirevues for IB NYC are out
Scroll up, GS is the most selective out of MS/JPM/GS for hirevues so no
Yes. Does anyone have any insight into who grades these. I have heard campus recruitment team and I have also heard that they float around each group and they decide.
Also, how many applicants get to the hirevue stage?
I submitted two apps and got two hirevues. Is it worth sending in both?
bump
yes send for both
.
got the hirevue as well
What time did you get the hirevue?
Does everyone get a hirevue?
No. It’s selective
Tbh I feel like so many ppl got it now that it’s not selective soooo what is gs even doing
Are hirevues for SF also out?
Does anyone know how many retries we get for hirevue questions?
None, 1 try per question if you mess up well guess you're not GS material lol
lmao
lmao
I received a NY IBD hirevue and I applied to NYC IBD, SF IBD, & NY MBD. Anyone know if this counts for all 3. It says, "Please be prepared to answer questions related to the specific division(s) to which you applied but note this invitation is for IBD New York"?
Probably going to have a few division specific Q’s
Any rising sophomores get a Hirevue for NYC?
someone on my school's team there said hirevues for sophs aren't likely til first round of junior recruiting is finished ... so likely sometime in august
I just got a hirevue for ibd nyc yesterday
Just checked my status on the Goldman applications page. My NYC IBD says "application under review" and I did not get an email regarding hirevues. I have talked to a few alums from my school who are MDs and partners and they said that I shouldn't be too worried. But I am very worried, are hirevues still coming out?
same here. also saying under review but applied 1 week after the app was open. Other locations still shown as app received. kinda worried.
Target or non-target? It seems as if there are a few targets that haven't been reviewed yet
target, ivy league
It said that for me last week but should be updated now. Did u check again
IBD NY still says "under review" while the other two locations for IBD says "received"
Anyone got a hirevue for Dallas IBD?
I applied and haven't gotten one yet. My application also still says received under the portal.
anyone get hirevue for IBD houston?
Yes
Did you also apply to NYC?
Did anyone's portal change to selected for superday but didn't get the email? Mine did not, I'm just asking to see if they update your portal first or if they send the email first
you got me in the first half, not gonna lie
People who said NYC supers come out today can eat my hairy bunghole, was so excited
Got superday for IB financing
Do they have separate interviews for financing and classic groups?
NYC?
Yea
Got a NY Classic superday.
This morning or last night?
I really hope they are still reviewing some apps and giving out SDs today...
Last night.
Bro just curious if you submitted application very early like 7/1 asap after they opened up. Thx:)
Anyone have insight into the Chicago office? Hirvues were due on Monday
Has anyone who submitted July 20th or later gotten a Hirevue yet? Didn't apply before they were sent out so wondering if they're going to review my app at all or if it's just kinda over for me lol
IBD deadline was the 12th.
Applied on 26th July got hirevue on the 28th. Unsure if the IBD 12th July deadline is legit because my app for IBD states "hirevue accepted" lmao.
It seems like people who submitted application a week after 7/1 haven't heard back huh? So is there a second wave coming?
follow do you think there's a second wave?
I submitted application a bit late, after July 20
was wondering if there was second wave in the past??
bro IB closed on July 12 or 13 I think?
I applied the week after and already went through superday
Anyone have insight based on their experience about how perfect the HireVue needs to be to land a superday? My voice cracked really bad in the middle of the first question and I can’t stop thinking about it.
Don't worry about it:) with GS if you are target, your school's recruiting team are gonna go over those hirevues so. It's ok hiccups do happen
Have any rising sophomores (class of 2023) gotten a hirevue for NYC IBD yet?
Got one today.
Are you diversity and at a target?
Got mine today - how long did you have to wait from the notification email until you got the separate email with the actual hirevue link?
Are Hirevue's only out for NYC or got other office also? I networked heavily with a couple offices and attended Insight Day for one of them, but still haven't gotten a Hirevue from that office.
Did anyone with a classic superday today get an offer yet?
Curious too
had one at 11:30 and didn't hear yet.
How many candidates for Aug 20th? My slot had 8 people.
I heard of quite a few different timeslots... so yikes. Wonder how many offers are left
how many time slots were there in your opinion? Mine had 3 including myself
bump
any idea if there will be additional Hirevue at this time? Campus recruiter said there will be additional SD scheduled but haven't received hirevue yet... (target, app still says under review)
Any updates?
if it says app received does it really mean that our app was not seen yet or was I ghosted?
who else just refreshing WSO and waiting to hear back from yesterday's super
