When we review applications, we look for creative, team-oriented candidates who will bring intensity and integrity, intellectual curiosity and leadership potential to our team.
What to Expect
First round interviews for experienced professionals take place via telephone or at one of our office locations. If you are invited back for second and subsequent rounds of interviews, you will meet with numerous representatives from the division before a final hiring decision is made. During the interview process, we will look for you to demonstrate significant expertise and depth of experience in your particular professional area.
In addition, we will pay close attention to assessing your compatibility with the firm's culture.

If you complete a successful interview process with us and we feel you would make a positive addition to the Goldman Sachs team, we will extend an offer to you.
While there is no set timeframe for receiving an offer after you interview with us, we aim to notify candidates within 48-72 hours of the conclusion of the interview process. If you receive and accept an offer from us, we will then work with you on the specifics around start date, benefits and any relocation that might be required.
Regardless of where you are in your career, we offer the opportunity to move ahead more rapidly than is possible at most other firms. Because Goldman Sachs has a flat organizational structure, it is difficult to identify a typical career path. We have yet to find the limits to the responsibility our best people are able to assume.
Whatever career route you choose, we thank you for considering Goldman Sachs and wish you every success with your future.
