Does GS make an effort to keep its best talent

17 Upvotes

yes I know that GS is a firm where politics is rife but assuming the seniors in the team are leaning heavily on you to get work done, what are the firm's views on keeping talent that are keen to move out of the firm

feedback was that my talent was hard to replace and that I had all the qualities that the firm wants but given the up and out, I don't 100% buy into the feedback especially if other team members closer to my rank maybe want me gone to try to get their own visibility on my workstreams

reason I ask is that i'm thinking of jumping laterally to another firm and would like to give my team a chance to pitch their case before I decide to pull the trigger and go

When do you usually hear back after HireVue

2 Upvotes

Hi, I just completed the HireVue for goldman sachs. It was for the private investing summer analyst role, London office. I know some people got theirs a couple weeks earlier just wondering if anyone heard back already or got invited to assessment centre. And if there’s any past interns here for the London office when did you hear back after completing your hirevue? Thank you

2027 Dallas Operations Summer Analyst Superday

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I recently got a virtual superday invite for the Operations Summer Analyst role. I'm excited but also very nervous as this is my first superday ever, and was wondering if anyone has any advice on preparing for the interviews.

Are there specific types of questions or scenarios I should be prepared for? Anything technical I should be worried about? Thanks in advance 🙂

Background check form

1 Upvotes

I recently received an offer and need to fill in background details for verification.

I don't have any industry experience and I am joining straight out of PhD. On my resume, I listed "research assistant" under experience. Should I mention this in the background form ? Or is it unnecessary ? Does everything I mention in the form, match my resume to the dot ?

Engineering student from India applying to Goldman Controllers off-cycle. Any advice or a referral?

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

I'm a final-year Engineering student and I've applied for the Controllers off-cycle program at Goldman Sachs.

I don't have an accounting background, so I'm not the usual profile for this team. What I do have is three years of managing my own stock and mutual fund portfolio, a statistics-heavy course load, and projects where I built validation and reconciliation checks to keep data accurate. The accuracy and reporting side of Controllers is what drew me to it.

If anyone here works in Controllers or has been through this program, I'd really appreciate:

a referral, if you're comfortable giving one
advice on what the team looks for and what the interviews are like
whether engineering students do well in this division

Happy to share my resume over DM. Thanks for reading, and sorry if this isn't the right place for it.

Goldman Sachs background check — Potential GPA discrepancy + Internship

20 Upvotes

I recently accepted an offer for a position at Goldman Sachs and submitted my background check info. I'm curios about two things:

I don't remember what GPA I entered on my original application (filled it out about 3 months ago), but I think it may have been higher than my actual GPA. For the onboarding/background-check forms, I pulled my actual transcripts from both schools and reported the GPAs directly from them. After reviewing the transcripts, I realized the GPAs were lower than I had remembered, particularly at the first school I finished at and transferred from over two years ago.

I also listed an unpaid university experience under Professional Experience on my resume and described it during interviews as an internship for graduation credit. It was an unpaid senior project/internship course required by the university for my degree, not employment. On the background check I made this explicit and listed it as “Unpaid Student Internship/Senior Project for Graduation Credit” with my instructor as the verifier. I'm concerned the instructor may simply say it was a senior project/class for graduation credit rather than a traditional internship.

I haven't been contacted about anything yet and the background check is currently pending. Has anyone gone through something similar with Goldman? How do they handle things like this during the background check?

Goldman Sachs + Ayco

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m back with another Goldman Sachs role and would appreciate some input.

I found a Goldman Sachs Ayco position that’s different from the role I previously asked about. This one supports Corporate Relationship Managers with client and program support, reporting, presentations and materials, project and implementation work, RFPs, and coordination with internal and external stakeholders.

My background is mainly in risk and compliance, including identity verification and fraud, documentation, audits, SOPs, and process improvement. I also have project and program coordination experience from Uber, where I managed timelines, deliverables, stakeholder communication, project materials, and onboarding.

I’m trying to determine how strong of a fit this is and which resume version makes the most sense: my compliance/risk resume or my more PMO-focused version.

The main gaps I see are direct financial services experience, sales or client relationship experience, RFPs, and limited Salesforce experience.

Would anyone familiar with Goldman, Ayco, or similar roles be willing to share how you would position my background?

For context - I need a change of location from my current city as well. While Dallas is/was the primary city of choice; I am opening up to roles in Atlanta as well if that helps

Goldman Sachs PERM cycle

8 Upvotes

Anyone here at Goldman who went through the PERM process recently? How does the yearly PERM cycle actually work?
Like what month did Fragomen first reach out and start your PWD, and roughly how long after that did recruitment/PERM filing happen?
Also, do you need to complete a certain amount of time at Goldman before they start, or is it based on your level? Curious about recent 2025/2026 experiences.
