I had a final round interview about 2.5 weeks ago at GS. The interview went great, and it was directly with the VP of the team I'd be joining. I sent thank-you notes and followed up with HR, but it's been total radio silence.

I know other candidates who went through the general/mass-hiring process for this division heard back within 2 days. However, since I was pre-selected for this specific desk, I'm wondering if my timeline is just moving slower due to localized team approvals and the holiday week.

Does silence this far out mean a soft rejection, or is this normal for a niche team?

Hi everyone,

There’s a CA Industrial Trainee opening at Goldman Sachs that I’m very interested in.

I’ll be eligible for Industrial Training from 15 July 2026 and have experience in Statutory Audit, IPO engagements and financial analysis.

If anyone can provide a referral or connect me with the right person, I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks!

Finished a lengthy interview process of 8 rounds for an associate position (non IB or SWE) UK.

Last week I received two compensation questionnaire emails & a request for a call with HCM regarding my application, progress and for me to ask any questions following my “good feedback”.

They also mentioned ahead of the call I’ll receive the CQ which after completion there are next steps on their end. - sounds very ambiguous, anyone know what’s to expect in the call?

Thank you

I have an MD interview, it was supposed to be part of the panel interview, but it was rearranged for a different time. This is for a Data Scientist Associate role. Would I expect any technical questions here or not? My feeling is no, but I don’t want to be caught out, also I’m very surprise that my other panel interviews didn’t have any coding whatsoever.

Had virtual panel interview (loop, 6 members , 3 slots)on Monday . Followed up on Tuesday with HR from generic email . No reply yet . Does this mean I’m not selected ? Portal states interview complete.
This is in global banking &markets

I’m in dire need of a replacement iPhone. Used my Apple Credit Card to get it replaced and it’s been a few days and the charge still hasn’t been posted, so Apple won’t ship out the phone till it’s posted with Goldman Sachs. Two different representatives said it can take up to July 8th 2026 to post. Mind you I made the purchase on June 30th online with Apple Support. So it’s going to take 8 days to post before apple can ship it out. I never heard of such a long time to post a purchase. Ridiculous!! Goldman Sachs says there is nothing they can do. I cancelling this credit card asap. Ridiculous and unheard of. Should of used my Chase Visa

I am currently in GBM ops in SLC. I am a summer analyst and want to know the process of switching divisions. I don't know where I want to go; I just want to get out of operations.

What are the chances of me being able to switch teams and divisions, and how do I maximize those chances?

Is there any way I could transfer to the New York office, and what would be the best approach?

What are the front office teams in Salt Lake City?

Does anyone have any tips in general for finding which front office teams are hiring and where my best chances would be?

I'm curious if anyone here has recently joined Goldman Sachs as an Engineering VP (or another senior engineering role).

I completed all of my interviews successfully, and the recruiter reached out to discuss compensation expectations. We had what seemed like a positive salary discussion, and I shared my expectations.

Since then, it's been radio silence from the recruiter for over a week. I've followed up once but haven't received a response yet.

I'm wondering:

• How long did it take between the compensation discussion and receiving a verbal or written offer?
• Did you experience a period of no communication from recruiting?
• Is this a normal part of Goldman Sachs' hiring process, especially for VP-level engineering roles?

I'd really appreciate hearing about your recent experience. Thanks!

I have a panel interview for a DS role, and I have little idea on what to expect. It was just an introductory call and then straight to this. I have two data science techniques and experience rounds one on regression and another on clustering, should I expect it to be generic or tied to the JD and my CV?

I have. Credit score around 672. I have had some medical bills recently driving these high payments. I have no collections, late payments, etc. just high credit usage and the 672 score. Will this prevent me from passing my background check?

Had a strong final-round interview for a risk role at SLC about 7 business days ago. I've followed up with the recruiter twice since and gotten no response at all. Not even a quick "still in process." The team is fairly new, so not sure if their process is just slow.

Is total recruiter silence after a final round normal, or does it usually mean something? Appreciate any perspective.

Currently in the green card process with GS and thinking about changing jobs . Has anyone left GS while in the process of getting their green card ? What should I consider ? (Keep in mind I already have my priority date ) Will I have to pay GS back for the lawyer fees for the green card if I leave?

Top tier investment banking logic at its absolute finest, lads.

Applied for an Associate Change Management role a few weeks back. Did the recruiter dance, talked numbers, got an internal referral, and crushed a massive interview with a Vice President. Literally got told my case study framework was impressive. Excellent stuff.

Then, silence for two weeks. Complete radio silence.

Log onto the portal today to find the inevitable "Application Turndown." Fair play, thought I just didn't make the cut or they froze the headcount. It happens.

But curiosity got the better of me, so I check the live job board. Lo and behold, the exact same role has been reposted today. Same Associate title. Same location.

The twist? They’ve copy-pasted the exact requirements from the heavy-hitting, Change Management Vice President job description they had listed last month.

Absolute masterclass in corporate budgeting.

Can’t wait to apply again with "Delusions of Grandeur" added to my CV.

It’s been a year plus since this happened but I am still hurt by it. I’m so depressed right now. I used to work in finance until I was laid off in late 2024 and I have struggled to come back in since. I was laid off from role, and to be honest, it was for the best as things just weren’t working out.

I ended up receiving an offer Apr 2025 for a dream role at GS, butt the offer was rescinded due to a failed background. Bear in mind, I host no sanctions, criminal record history, bad credit etc. The recruiter who I was working with told me that my references were fine, but the corp would not delve into the reason for the failed bc (any ideas why btw?)

I’m completely lost now, working a low-paying manual labour job I hate whilst knowing I can do more. But, at this time, I don’t know what to do more.

That’s all, just needed to clear my mind. Every day that passes is painful and I feel like packing it all in, but the slight hope that everything can change in a minute is the only thing that stops me.

Please give me some advice, and thank you so much if you do. I really need to change my circumstance.

I applied for a software engineer associate role last week through a referral and post applying, I got a mail saying a recruiter will reach out if your profile is a good fit. This mail was from GSRecruiting@oracle.com

I got reached out by a recruiter as well, I verified her employment at GS through her LinkedIn profile, she also contacted me through same mail 'GSRecruiting@oracle.com', asking me to attach my latest mail, expected comp and notice period, telling me that <name> will be reaching out regarding my interview schedule and I shared all the info she requested, a week ago and I haven't received any response from them yet.

Funnily enough, my status was showing as Application Turndown at the GS Oracle website at that time - no automatic email was sent for that.

Edit : Forgot to give you additional context, but when I replied back for a follow up post sending my details, it says Address Not Found. That's why I am inclined to believe about a possible scam. Please help a girl out 🥲

I don't mind getting a rejection, but if it's a scam, I would like to report it.

Is there any GS channel that I could contact to verify the authenticity of this mail from the supposed recruiter?

I have virtual panel interviews coming up for a VP Software Engineering role at Goldman Sachs in Dallas. I have two interviews scheduled. The first interview being about "Problem Solving, Algorithms & Data Structures" and the second interview being about "Software Design & Architecture". Each interview is 45 minutes long. I have already passed the initial CoderPad interview.

Does anyone know what I should expect in each interview? Is the first interview just going to a DSA problem? And what about the second interview? Is that one more HLD (system design of scalable systems) or LLD (object-oriented design)?

Anyone know what I should expect or care to share their experience?

Will be joining the firm in the US. Looking to create an algorithm to trade on polymarket global which is currently blocked in the US. I don’t know how serious this behavior is, I know it’s definitely against polymarket policy but is it against the law or something?

I wanted to ask about the team's work-from-home and in-office expectations. Could you share the current hybrid work policy for the Global Markets division in the New York office, including the typical number of days employees are expected to be in the office each week?
