I interviewed for an entry-level backend Analyst position at Goldman Sachs about 14 days ago. From what I understand, they’re hiring to fill multiple backend positions rather than just one opening.
I felt like the interview went pretty well, but I didn’t hear anything afterward. I followed up with recruiting, and 2 days ago they replied saying that I’m still under consideration and that they’ll provide an update when they have one.

It’s now been two weeks since the interview. Has anyone had a similar experience with Goldman Sachs, especially for entry-level/backend roles? Is being “under consideration” after 2 weeks normal when they’re hiring multiple people, or does this usually mean they’re waiting on their first-choice candidates?

Would especially appreciate hearing from anyone who interviewed with Goldman and eventually received an offer after waiting 2+ weeks.
Am I cooked or should I still have some hope? 😭

I have a second-round, on-site interview coming up for an Associate Analyst, Finance position at an insurance/financial services company. My first round was a 30-minute virtual screen that was mostly behavioral, they already asked me about my background, my experience, my reconciliation work, and had me explain a workflow I automated. They also walked me through what the role and the team’s workflow looks like day to day. This round is an hour, in person, with three people from the team, and HR told me it’ll be “similar to my first interview.”

Since they already covered my experience and background in round 1, I’m trying to figure out what a second round like this actually focuses on. Do they mostly re-ask the same behavioral questions so new team members can meet me, or do they go deeper into technical stuff like reconciliations, journal entries, GAAP, and month-end close? How much does the in-person, meet-the-team element change things versus a video call? And for anyone who’s interviewed candidates, what makes someone stand out at this stage versus just being fine?
