Process

I submitted my resume in November 2021 and was reached out to schedule just two rounds of technical interviews. There was no phone screen or recruiter screen.

These were the only rounds of interviews I completed.

After this, I heard back in about two weeks saying I got the offer.

Pros: Ideal place for a person who likes a fast pace. Great leadership, and they help you groom yourself as a leader. You get to learn a lot about financial markets. They do a great job of inviting leaders from many streams to learn from their perspectives.

Cons: It is difficult to work flexible hours or from home at a firm like GS. Being in person and on time matters a lot. As the firm got significantly larger, you feel a bit lost in the org structure, which is not very transparent. Compensation varies significantly with market swings, so it is not ideal for a person seeking stability.
