got it
Got one as well. Non target, tons of networking though.
Hey! Hope you are doing amazing! I was just wondering if you could be so kind to tell me the GS NY IBD questions for Summer Analyst 2021. I would really appreciate it! Happy to help in any way that I can too :)
Didn't get one and I networked w three VPs....RIP
Same here, had a direct rec from one as well I’m so confused
Have you gotten one yet
Yo will you help me understand why everyone is tweakin out abt not getting a HV? It says on their website that the deadline is Nov 20 and they aim to let everyone know by Dec 20. Wouldn’t this mean that you and everyone else still have a shot? Is there another deadline I don’t know about? What am I missing here
IB deadline was July 12th according to recruiters
You sweet naive soul for believing recruiting is that structured
got one as well
Is it SA or FT?
This thread is abt SAs generally speaking
following
Who grades these. Are they the alumni group or the groups you applied for or other?
HCM to my knowledge
Combination of both - for targets, alumni bankers are highly involved and send HCM a list that pretty much gets pushed through. For non targets it’s much more HCM directed.
got one - non target but tons of networking
how much is tons
I can speak for myself. I spoke with 2 VP and 2 Analysts. both convos with the VP’s were interview-like
talked to almost every one of school’s alumni and networked in specific industries. not an absurd amount of people just made each one count
delete
i have until sunday night to do it so idk yet - was hoping someone on here would.
from ppl who did it last summer from my school - mostly technicals take. would definitely prep those
I heard the opposite. Maybe some "what do you think about the current state of the markets" but nothing actually technical.
Hopefully someone can confirm

Has anyone received the HireVue link itself yet? I'm still waiting on the HireVue link (not the email from recruiter)
email says could be tomorrow am or tonight
Does anyone know how many tries we should have on hirevue questions?
Only 1 so you gotta be perfect lol
^can anyone confirm - thanks
1 try 1.5 minutes each 30 second prep
got one, non-target
What exact time was it sent? You think they'll send out another wave for NY or no?
I got it at 5:56 CDT lol. I’m not sure if there is going to be a next wave, but just stay on the lookout. This is also my first time through the GS process and it seems pretty different to me compared to MS, JPM, and others.
Got a hirevue, semi-target for NY but target for SF. No networking, but good internships/extracurriculars. Is this hirevue really going to be technical? I really though GS hirevues were typically non-technical
did you participate in any of the diversity programs? from my understanding I thought GS only gave hirevues to people who participated in diversity programs or had referrals through networking
i dont have relevant experience, didn't network and go to probably a semi-target and got one
It's not. 4-5 behavioral questions with detailed scenarios. 1 try to answer. 1 IB specific question. If you applied to other divisions and this is your first Hirevue, expect division specific questions on those too.
Were the behaviorals more like "Tell me about a time..." or were they situationals "You are in a team and. ...what do you do"?
Did you get HireVue for the NY or SF office?
NY
i applied for 3 different locations (NY, SF, CHI) – I got only NYC and see that NYC has been the only IBD location released. However, is there any chance we would receive additional hirevues for the other two applications?
no in the email it says that we would only be asked to submit one hirevue for the recruiting cycle
it’s really technical?? damn
Just did the interview:
I cant remember all of them, but pretty standard:
1) Why GS 2) Why Banking 3) Why is a liquidation model relevant during markets right now? 4) Are you a leader or a team member and why? 5) What are markets doing right now?
THANK U - when I do it ill post the questions as well
bro imma take u up on this offer haha
you’re a legend
.

any update?
I don’t even think they’ve sent out the links to the actual hirevues yet lol, was this for IBD?
The questions don’t really change from year to year from what I’ve been told.
NYC IBD hirevues are indeed out, at least some of them are.
SB'd. There are more questions, I expected it to only be 4-5?
There are 5 behavorials and 1 division based question according to folks who I've networked with at the firm.
Seems sus. Thank you for the good practice anyways though.
This guy gets it. We are only competing against our school candidates, so thanks!
why is this dude getting MS? I have heard as well (at least for semi-targets and targets) that we are competing with other candidates in our school?
Can anyone confirm? Seems sketch
Just did it. can confirm. Also, what are you passionate about?

Is GS super selective with HireVues? or does almost everyone get one?
edited this - i think it wasnt too selective. this was the first hurdle so b proud if u got it, but its definitely harder to go hirevue—>superday
this just seems false — maybe it was true for prior years, but it seems like majority of people got it for NYC IBD this year
just got the email for the Hirevue
Like as in a couple mins ago or you didn't see it was in your inbox from a couple hours ago
received just a few minutes ago. theyre giving me till end of day on Sunday the 19th
Any FT received Hirevue?
Not yet
Any Canadians received a hirevue?
nothing, you?
.
bump
I think almost everyone gets a HireVue. I’m at a nontarget, talked to like 2 people but doubt they flagged my resume and I got a HireVue
now i feel dumb cuz i grinded for this lol
GPA? What's your work experience and extra-curriculars like? People have said it's selective in the past
i hve a 3.98/4.0 at a non target. experience in biotech and pharma, but not directly finance. like to talk and pretty outgoing i think that helped when i was networking
GPA 3.87, non target, 2 finance internships in real estate and distressed fund
3.7 gpa, target, non-diversity, networked with 2 alumni, attended all on-campus events
3.95/4.0, target, two IB internships – I've heavily networked and many of those I spoke to internally said that while getting the hirevue was selective, the largest cut is hirevue –> superday. Be glad with the hirevue, but know that it is still extremely competitive and we've only gone through the smaller cut in the process.

jesus christ dude
In years past sophomore recruiting is done after junior recruiting so you shouldn't freak out just yet. Sounds like you're set to be honest so good job.
I can confirm that sophomore recruiting is done after junior recruiting.
How do we know if sophomore recruiting has started?
is super target HW?
Wharton.
.
Can anyone confirm q's
was there a submit button at the end for you? cant remember if i needed to submit after finishing the hirevue
how do u guys know it is for ibd?? did you check the portal and it said ibd is reviewing your application? my email only says “interview with goldman sachs”
I mean if you only applied for IBD...
i got hirevue earlier this week, the portal said gir is reviewing my application and ibd is application received, but the questions were all ibd... does it mean I got ibd hirevue?
Any international receive hirevue yet?
not yet
I got one as international but at US semi target
Got one on the 16th, non target
how many questions are there for ibd hirevue?
Didn't get one, non-target. Can I still network my way in or is it officially over?
it isnt over until you get a rejection. Get in referrals and have people bat for you to get your app moving...
I still haven't been officially rejected for the SA2020 class...
How many hirevue q's.Hear it is 7.
Go to a Semi Target with really solid ECs (including 4 internships, HF/PE/IB/AM), Good GPA, and networked with a VP in CIMD (among other analysts in IBD) who specifically mentioned he highly recommended me but didn’t end up getting a hirevue. Rip.
Safe to assume multiple waves? or anyone know if it’s one and done? Would suck if I grinded only to not even get a hirevue
Either you are exaggerating about your credentials or it's just really tough to break in even at a semi-target. If you're not exaggerating, then that's definitely a bummer.
The messed up thing is I'm underselling and I'm definitely not trolling. My semi-target is still top 20 US News and we have kids at GS just not as much as HYP+
