GS SA 2021
I didn't see a thread for GS so I figured I should start one. I know apps open on July 1st but will GS accelerate if I have another superday this week?

Bump - Will GS accelerate if I have a superday at another BB?
No.
If I have an offer that explodes July 8th... Would it be possible to get a Superday within that first week of the apps opening up?
Unlikely
I’d say there’s a good chance. An alumni at the firm told me to apply by midnight on July 1st and expect to hear back very quickly for first rounds and superdays. Assuming all of this still stands, I’d assume that they can definitely accelerate! Goodluck
I second this ^ if you have an exploding OFFER and not just another SuperDay with a BB or top EB, they’ll do their best to get you an interview within that first week
A recruiter reached out to me urging me to apply ASAP. did anyone else get this
bump
bump
what bro
Is Goldman Sachs going to sponsor this year?
Probably not because of COVID from what I heard (from friends). I work at a different bank though so don’t take my word for it.
So confirmed apps still opening July 1st at midnight?
Yup, apps open tomorrow.
Will the goldman sachs accelerate superday if i have an offer from a competing BB/EB? (think EVR/PJT/DB/MS)
Probably won't take DB too seriously
nice bait
Sorry I don't think The Goldman Sachs would accelerate for The Deutsche Bank.
one of those firms is not similar to the rest
seems like BofA postponed its application to late summer. is GS still opening tomorrow?
According to a campus recruiter, barring unforseen circumstances the app will open tommorow
If I have an offer for a mid office division in GS, and an offer for IB at an EB, do you think they would accelerate my process for IB in GS?
I was able to submit my app for merchant banking tonight? anybody know why that is?
International ?
no, US
Applications are open for me. Just applied to IBD, PE, Global Markets
Did anyone get this error: "We have noticed that you are trying to apply to a combination of Positions that is not valid"?
Yes
I'm also getting this error. Anyone know a fix other than using a different email?
Just double-checking. To submit app's for multiple positions, we do it on the same submission by selecting add another position as opposed to submitting a completely separate application. Is that the way to do it?
Yes
thx man
did anyone else not receive confirmation email for submission?
I received an individual one for each office I applied to.
How are you already applying when it's not even July 1st? Confused because when I try to apply I get an error message
how long did that take? Haven't gotten mine yet
Did you use your school email?
Didn't get emails either. On my portal it says app received tho
Yup. Says app received though for me on portal
Also didn't receive and used a personal
Got confirmation emails about 3 hrs after submitting
did everyone end up getting confirmation emails?
Is it good enough to land an IB interview if a 3rd year associate pushes my resume to the HR?
I go to a target and from what I’ve heard GS is one of the strangest places jn terms of networking and getting interviews. I’ve heard stories of some kids who networked a lot (6/7 or so solid connects) not land an interview. I also heard that one guy got an interview without even having one call
.
yea bump is it HR or Analysts / recruiting team from IBD who gets final say
Anyone know why LA and Toronto are not in the location choice?
Assuming we put 2021 as the recruiting year?
For people who are having issues -- it's because you have another incomplete application you clicked on. You can't delete that application. You have to use a new email address & make a new account to submit
did GS tell you making a new account is best way to go about it? just curious cuz I did notice the unfinished “other” application
Didn't ask, just used my personal/school instead of my personal/school.
Where is London mate
Hey, make sure to put recruiting year 2021
Thanks but still cant find it, do you have it as an option?
London is there but where is IB?
Tomorrow. Only a few locations have opened
When tomorrow?
.
Where did you apply?
NY/SF/CHI
can you only apply to 3 locations max?
Per division yes. They worded it weird, but I believe they mean you can apply up to 3 locations for each division you choose. You could submit 3 apps for IB, 3 apps for S&T etc. You can't submit 9 apps for IB though.
I dont think this is true. It let me choose a max of 3 apps regardless of location and position
Recruiter said it is MAX combinations that lead to 3 applications.
IBD isn’t showing for FT nyc FYI
This is a SA thread Bub
Yeah but seems to be a universal problem
Does GS have pymetrics?
Don't think so
Are we supposed to put down 2021 for recruiting year? It’s part of the position preference section
Yes
Thanks nie - much appreciated
is it open
Yep
can you select IB? If so, NYC or LDN?
Is it bad to apply for both classic & financing IBD groups?
what’s the difference
Bruh
classic IB contains coverage groups whereas financing is more LevFin and financial sponsors
I don't think you can apply for classic and financing groups for the same location? Correct me if I'm wrong.
That's correct, system didn't lemme
update: you cannot lmao
Fucked up forgot to add a second location to my app, should I submit another app with the new location or?
I think you can only submit one application for 2021 SA.
I'm currently an incoming student in a masters program. There seems to be no option to add a "to be determined" gpa and a place for past schooling. Anyone have any idea what to do?
Assuming you get to the Hirevue stage for multiple locations, does anyone know whether you'd have to do them separately for each one? Or does each location have the same question set and your first Hirevue will be sent to all applications?
You'd only have one extra division specific question for each division. So one hirevue but more questions.
Anyone's SA for LDN still not allowing you to select IBD?
Yes same
It used not to work at 8am London time, works now.
anyone ever create multiple accounts with different emails and apply like 5 times? Gonna run it, chances are too small for the non targets
deleted
wtf won't someone notice theres multiples of the same resume lol
I can't see IBD for London yet. Also my university grades are not out yet, how am I going to do? just give the official paper which says that grades are not ratified yet?
Just put your first year average and your prediction
Agree. Predictions are on my CV. I'm a bit anxious about WHY London isn't open for IBD haha!
anyone having troubles with finding IBD London?
Yes..
ffs
Do NY applicants get asked to do a hirevue? Was expecting to get hirevue but have not gotten yet. Just submitted like 30 mins ago
It’s selective not automatic
Anybody know how long the selection process usually takes?
For Merchant Banking NYC, one of the options is "equity investing". Is that growth equity or something else?
Not growth equity
Anyone know if GS sponsors this year???
Hi! I got the reply from GS:" Please note that we do not reject any candidate because of his or her need to obtain appropriate work authorization. And we consider candidates from all backgrounds and are able to sponsor international candidates for work authorization, if successful in the interview process."
Thanks for the info Do you thing that is legit info or just corporate bs? A.k.a was it from HR or an employee?
good luck y'all
just applied and realized I wan to switch one of the positions i applied for, can I withdraw and reapply or does it count as one of our apps
bump
anyone knows what the process would be like? hirevue immediately after submitting the app?
I'm taking a summer class that ends today and grades will be finalized within two weeks, but I wanna apply today. I already know what I'm getting so can I assume that grade when applying? Also do they ask for transcript on the app?
Is there a cover letter?
Best advice/suggestions after I eventually submit the app?
no cover letter nor transcript
I’ve had multiple GS people tell me directly to just get your app in within the first 12-14 days and you’ll be just fine (assuming HireVue completed at this point as well). WSO people are so aggro for no reason...If you want to be super safe, apply within the first week
Incoming sophomore, just wanted to know if I can still apply for their sophomore IB program through this app
I don’t think they have a sophomore IB program unless u say ur a junior or grad early
is GS rolling?
yes
jk ... delete
can anyone else not fill out the disability status? I can't sign the box or write my name. lol kinda ironic
yeah same here, i submitted my app without filling it tho
yeah same here. so just submit it without filling it out?
It's one of the questions on the page, above the actual "paper" that you typically fill out in applications.
You most likely selected your disability status but didn't even realize it because you were distracted by the paper. Happens to everyone - I've helped like 3 people with this problem today.
Sorry don't understand. So we do need to fill out the paper? I put Yes for disability and thought the paper is a static image.
To everyone interested in SF - the recruiter I spoke with recommended getting apps in within the first few days of July 1st, as they move faster than NY w/ interviews! Hirevues for NY come out in approximately 2 weeks I think?
Is there a way to recruit TMT specifically?
General offer then coverage group specific after offers have been made
SF offers are group specific according to their insight day, so as long as you say in your interview that you're recruiting for TMT exclusively, then that will be the position. In the application, no, but during interview stage yes.
Is it looked down upon to put preferences such as IBD (sellside) and GSAM(buyside)?
No, each division does not know what other positions you apply for.
If SF moves faster, then would this impact our application for New York? For example, if we get a superday or offer from SF, would NY avoid offering an interview? I heard that the locations don't want to compete for candidates.
You can hypothetically get SDs for multiple divisions/locations but it isn’t typical
can I resubmit my resume?
no
delete
Has anyone in diversity program received a HireVue?
Anyone know if it's ok to use your school email?
bump
is having an analyst push your resume useless?
no every one counts
stupid question sorry but would "Recruiting year" be 2021 or 2020?
if u try using 2020, it rlly restricts the locations, so it's gotta b 2021
didn't see that, thanks!
Can you withdraw and reapply an application?
no
Does anyone know if regional offices (non-NYC) take sophomores for IBD?
I heard they do with heavy networking.
Appreciate the reply. Do you which regional offices? I'm not sure whether I should split the 3 applications among other divisions (e.g. GIR, IMD) for NYC office or other regional offices for IBD.
Anyone have an idea on the process length for Wealth Management?
I know a friend who applied to CIMD Dallas in 2020, it took ~2 months. 1 month from application to Hirevue and around another month for superday!
Any idea how the super days were structured?
When will Apps be reviewed/hirevues be given out?
has anyone who recieved an offer during accelerated process heard anything/got official offer letter?
Yes, my super day was 6/10, received offer on 6/12, and then offer letter on 6/15
