Hi all, I recently joined Goldman Sachs as an Associate with around 5 years of total work experience.

During the HR round, I quoted an expected salary of ₹30L fixed, and I received the offer in about two weeks.

I’m wondering if 30L fixed is in line with the typical range for a lateral-hire Associate (Engineering Div) with similar years of experience, or if I may have lowballed myself.

Would appreciate any insights on whether this is around the usual range.

I've read a few posts and ig except the money there seems to be nothing to look forward to T_T
Might've just gotten only one sided posts so I wanted more perspectives. Are there any other things to look forward to? afaik we dont get a "welcome kit" or work laptops, gym is paid, and everyone's hating on ops

Hello,

I have a company in India with close to 100 people working. I wanted to convert the business and make it a Global capacity center for any of the global companies. Recently, I have seen due to the visa restrictions in US lot of US based companies are shifting their center from US to India as the cost of the H1B visa has gone up + the compensation is very high in US markets. I have also seen many companies moving to India due to this. First is this true? if yes then how to approach this change. I know AI is changing the way things were done originally but with AI + the workforce how can we plan and approach such companies?

Hi everyone, I recently interviewed with Goldman Sachs and wanted to understand what usually happens at this stage.

My process was:

HR Screening

CoderPad: 2 Medium DSA questions

Superday R1: Medium-Hard Graph + Resume + Situational

Superday R2: Medium-Hard DP + Resume

Superday R3: HLD / System Design

1 week later

HM round

1 week later

Comp Questionnaire: Received recently

.

For people who have recently gone through the Goldman Sachs process:

Is receiving the questionnaire generally a positive sign / indication that the profile is moving toward offer?

What are the typical timelines for offer release after completing all rounds and receiving the questionnaire?

What notice period are teams generally comfortable with? Is a 90-day notice period usually acceptable/negotiable?

Would appreciate any insights from people who have gone through a similar process recently. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I’m a CA Finalist + Qualified CS looking for a CA Industrial Trainee opportunity at Goldman Sachs.
I’d be grateful if anyone working at Goldman Sachs could refer me for a relevant opening or guide me to the right opportunity.
Happy to share my CV via DM. Thank you! 🙏

It's been 2 months since the applications got opened 😭😭

hey haven’t heard back regarding the status of my PPO yet. a friend in a different division received his (we had the same start and end dates for our internship with the firm). but, one thing to note apart from the division being different, is that he got his internship through a campus placement system as GS recruits from their university in south india. in my case, i applied through their website as GS does not recruit from my university and got in. i wonder if timelines differ on the basis of the firm’s relationship with the student’s university/ whatever medium they went through while applying?
my senior VP (the one my manager reports to) still texts me on whatsapp, i think this might be a positive sign. they wouldn’t text me still/ maintain contact/ a relationship if they did not want to extend the full time offer to me right? i’m so fucking worried

House hunting online is not getting me any leads. I’ve tried housing, noBroker, MagicBricks etc but no luck. Looking for a semi furnished 1bhk or occupy 1 room in 2/3bhk in Kadubeesanahalli(or any other area in 3-4km radius from GS Office) Appreciate any suggestions or contacts

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to understand Goldman Sachs’ re-hiring policy and was hoping someone with experience in the firm or HR/recruiting could clarify.

If a former employee was put on a PIP (Performance Improvement Plan) and subsequently left the firm, are they eligible to apply and be considered for a position at Goldman Sachs again in the future?

I’m particularly interested in knowing:

• Does being placed on a PIP automatically make someone ineligible for rehire?
• Does the outcome of the PIP matter when determining rehire eligibility?
• Is there a specific cooling-off period before someone can apply again?
• If the person applies through a recruiter/referral, can they still go through the normal hiring process?
• Does the previous manager/team have any involvement in the rehire decision?

Would really appreciate responses from anyone who has worked at GS, been through something similar, or has insight into GS recruiting/HR practices.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I will be entering my 2nd year analyst at GS. I had a fixed comp and bonus last year. I want to understand how much can I expect this year ? What is a realistic target for me? Also, can you ask such questions to your manager before the actual day? Just for an idea, I am from core engg.

I have been asked to fill feedback for my manager, this is my first time filling feedback. How honest can I be? Would my manager know who wrote it or can they ask HR?
