I recently interviewed from Goldman Associate Role and I was told that the feedback from all interviewers is positive . But the HR has not contacted regarding any comp discussion but they did reach out for my expected compensation and few other documents .
The issue is that I am service NP already and 29th may is my last working day and i am joining another firm on 1st June .

Even though i have a compensation call next Monday , is it even possible for HR Team to fast-rack this process that I join that quickly .
To me this does not seem real because i have seen bigger companies like goldman need to follow a lot of approvals before rolling out an offer letter and that might take time .

Any suggestions on what i should do ? I do want to join goldman as i feel it would be better for my career but even if i reject the other company based on goldman verbal offer and for some reason the verbal offer doesn’t turn out to an actual offer (which i have seen happening with few of my friends) I would be left with nothing .

Hi - went through an EMEA off cycle process, had great conversations, never got an official offer or rejection, just a bunch of immigration/work visa emails from Fragomen. Any idea what this means? Conditional offer based on work visa approval or what?

Had my final interview rounds for a VP Engineering role at Goldman Sachs Dallas Location, and haven’t heard back from the recruiter yet. Trying not to overthink it, but the silence after final rounds is stressful.

Timeline:

• Sent a thank-you/follow-up email to the recruiter afterward
• It’s now been over a week with no response yet

The interviews felt positive overall, and I thought discussions with the team went well. No obvious negative signals, but I know the market is extremely competitive right now and timelines seem slower everywhere.

For people who recently interviewed at Goldman Sachs:

• How long did it take to hear back after final rounds

?

• Did delayed responses end up being positive or negative in your experience?

Been interviewing since February across multiple companies, so the waiting game is starting to get mentally exhausting. Just looking for perspective from others who’ve gone through similar timelines recently.

Help! I opened up a Marcus savings account 2.5 months ago. I have made withdrawals from it with no issues. I paid my university tuition from the account on Friday (due date) and three business days later I’m getting called from customer service needing to verify that payment was made by me. I verified with them that it was me who made the payment and it’s not fraud, then they told me they needed to verify the original bank account that my funds came from 2.5 months ago. They couldn’t explain why they needed this, and the original external bank account used to transfer funds to my Marcus account is unrelated to my tuition payment, so I thought it was a scam. They told me it was okay to call back later to verify the external account.

After the call, I review my email to find they declined my tuition payment to my university. I immediately called the customer service # and they couldn’t explain why that happened. They then told me they needed to verify the original external bank account and they weren’t sure why they needed to do this because the payment was going to a university. Through all sorts of additional calls, we *finally* were able to get the external bank account where my original funds came from verified. The customer service rep told me that the case is now closed, and there is no way to reverse the “decline” they made on the payment.

I asked the situation to be escalated, so a call was scheduled for them to call me. No one called me back at the time it was scheduled. I called again and explained the entire situation over again. They told me I will have to resubmit the payment. The two issues are 1) now the payment would be considered late and I would have to pay a late fee, and 2) they never put the funds back in my account.

I have asked them to either reverse the decline that should never have happened because it was already verified, or provide me with documentation that I can send to my university to notate what happened on their end, or put the money back so I can resubmit the payment. They said they can’t do any of these things and to send my university the declined payment email (which would be useless).

I have spent HOURS on the phone trying to get this figured out. It has been nothing short of a nightmare. I never thought banking with Goldman Sachs would be such a terrible experience. I am at a loss and don’t know what to do.

I work on a Latam based location and just recently my vp came saying she arranged to WFH to come back (it was prohibited like a year and a half ago), so now im curious about how are other teams going about that? I feel like we were the only ones actively doing 100% in office…

If I am on the path to get promoted from senior analyst to Associate in Salt Lake in compliance , what can I expect the promotion % to be for my annual salary. My current salary is 78k. What is a projected salary for Associate once promoted in January 2027?

I experienced sexual assault from a co-worker at Goldman Sachs. I reported it through the appropriate channels, and while I was informed that an investigation was conducted, I was not provided with the outcome.

I’m sharing this because many professionals carry experiences like this quietly for years.

It changes the way you move through the world, the way you trust, the way you process safety, relationships, and even yourself.

A safe workplace is not created through policies alone, but through the willingness of people to pay attention, speak up, and protect the dignity of others around them.

I hope anyone reading this takes a moment to look around their own workplace and ask whether the people around them truly feel safe, heard, and respected.

I honestly don’t know how to process what happened today.

I went through the full interview process with Goldman Sachs, cleared the technical rounds, completed Superday, had multiple sell calls with teams that were interested in me, selected my preferred team, and even completed the immigration consultation with Fragomen.

After all of that, I suddenly received a rejection email today.

What’s making this really hard is that nobody prepares you for getting rejected after reaching the sell call stage. I genuinely thought I was at the final step. The teams seemed positive, the process kept moving forward, and I invested so much emotionally and mentally into this opportunity.

I’m on Day-1 CPT, so now I’m wondering if this became an immigration/work authorization issue at the very end, even though I was transparent throughout the process. If that’s the case, I just wish companies would communicate earlier instead of letting candidates go through every stage.

Right now I just feel exhausted, confused, and honestly heartbroken. Months of preparation, stress, interviews, waiting, and hope — and then a generic rejection email after everything.

Has anyone else experienced something similar, especially after sell calls/team matching? Did you ever get clarity on what happened afterward?

Would really appreciate hearing from people who’ve been through this because this one hit me pretty hard.

Hi,

So what happened is my manager(he is in Hong Kong) sent me a long mail with negative feedback few weeks back (it almost covered all the negative points either for on my first couple of tasks or something that of that kind).
I have only 8 days left for my probation period and while I was I in a 1:1 with him, he told me that it’s not looking very good and gave me a subtle hint that downside is very probable now since it’s just 8-10 days remaining.

I asked couple of VPs on the floor(who I know)they told me that they are trying to cut the headcount and I must start looking out for options. Also, 2 people of my team(both analysts) are already put on PIP

Anybody here who got hit by something related to this? Will they fire me in probation itself or are they going to put me into PIP later?

I gave compensation details but my application was turn down(not sure why interview rounds were good).

Got a mail of rejection in afternoon.

But same day evening got a mail that they will get back with final decision.

Anyone faced similar situation ?
Any idea if i hold any chance of offer ?

Hi Folks, I have been hearing recently that some teams have slowed or paused hiring and that opening new reqs now requires multiple levels of approval. It sounds like a number of open positions were closed with hiring happening only for critical or urgent needs. Have you all heard something similar? If so, how long do these hiring slowdowns typically last before things pick up again? From what I can tell, hiring seems active in AWM but relatively quiet across some of the other divisions.

Hi,

I got my verbal offer more than a week ago and waiting for the written offer. Anyone in the same situation here? Can we give updates to each other for potential joins in May + June + July?

Thanks,

Hey guys,

It's been about 3 weeks since my Superday and I still haven't heard back. My status is still "Selected for interview." It's for an Associate position on the AWM team in NYC. I felt my interviews went well. I've followed up multiple times and haven't gotten a reply either. Anyone been in a similar boat? Is there still a chance of getting an offer?

Hey everyone,

I recently had a Superday for an AI Engineer role, and I’m a bit confused about the process.

My “Superday” was just one 45-minute technical interview.

It’s now been about 2 weeks since that interview. My portal still says “Interview Complete”.

Is this a standard process tech hiring?

Also, for people who recently got offers, how long did it take between the final round and the verbal offer/recruiter update?

Would appreciate any insight from people familiar with GS hiring timelines/processes.

Yesterday I had my Goldman Sacs Associate SDE loop interview from around 1–4 PM MT.

Honestly, from my side, all the rounds felt good. I was able to communicate my thought process clearly, solve the problems, and overall I came out of the interview feeling positive.

But today morning around 6:30 AM, I received the rejection email.

The timing itself honestly shocked me because I wasn’t expecting such a quick decision after feeling reasonably confident about the interviews.

I know interview outcomes depend on many factors and maybe there were concerns I didn’t notice, but I wanted to ask:

Has this happened to others too where you genuinely felt the interview went well but still got rejected immediately afterward?

As title says , I’m depressed !
Recently promoted, I have been trying to leave my team since last year . I can’t start counting the amount of catch ups I have had with individuals for nothing at the end . I’m not sure why internal mobility is so hard but I am sad every day I come in.
What am I doing wrong here?

I just got to hear from different people that currently there is a hiring freeze within the firm. Though I am not sure if it is any division specific or it is across the firm. Please share your thoughts if you know anything about this. Also got to know that the engineering division has been given instructions to reduce their head counts. Is this correct?

I am a teenager looking to pursue a career in finance. My grandpa was a very high role(not sure what the offical word is called) at goldman in I believe investment banking. He is now a very successful private investor. I want to be like him eventually(a private investor)however he said investment banking was the worst part of his life with the hours, workload etc. I am lucky enough to be able to be given some capital and connections from him however I don't want to be given everything. Is wealth management a good opportunity for me if I want a good work life balance aswell as connections? Sorry if things I said do not make sense as I am only 16.

I got an SDE offer from GS in a team in Dallas. They have offered a VP position and I was wondering what I should quote in terms of salary expectations. I have 6 years of experience
