How can I break into Goldman Sachs? Current background is a little over 1 YOE. Licensed with SIE, S7, S63, & S65. Working at a big BD/IA firm right now. I have had a tough time with Goldmans interview process with only getting a HireVue interview or a brief conversation with recruiters.

Why do you even want to work at Goldman?

I’ve spoke to a few people there and they had great things to say. Development looks promising. Also I feel like they are a step up from the firm I am at right now.

I think the best thing to do right now is to reach out to recruiters. They recently slowed down the hiring process. But you might still get a chance if you apply in winter or late winter.

What division? Hiring has slowed down largely across the firm, so that makes it harder as well if you aren't focused on certain roles. But if you have something specific in mind, it'd be easier to reach out to team members there who can push you a little further than just cold applying.

Def reach out to the people you spoke and ask them to try getting you an intro. Excuse my big assumption here, but your chances will prob be a lot higher if you aim to move in late winter as a lot of people will jump in January post-bonus

Appreciate the insight, I will do that! Im specifically looking at PWM/CWM.

Where are you located

Location is a factor…near DFW or SLC?

I have been talking to a recruiter for a little over a month about a position. I let her know out the gate that I really wasn’t looking to change jobs, but she just kept wanting to continuing the conversation. I didn’t have 2 interviews with the hiring coming and they know that I am not really looking to make a switch. They are now working on an offer letter and I know they’re going to offer me more money. I’m having my annual review this week. Any advice on how to handle a) job offer b) review?

I recently interviewed with Natwest and I got confirmation that they wanted to offer a role. Salary negotiations were started. However, now I got an email from the hiring manager that hiring for my role has been paused due to the ongoing cost of living crisis. He expects to resume the hiring for the role in Q1 '23 and would resume the process then. So is it the end? Honestly, I don't expect him to come back. But what do you think?
