Trader interviews at Goldman Sachs? I’ve never done a trading/finance interview in my life, not seeing much online, not sure what types of things to expect

Have an offer that’s doubling my TC (think a few hundreds less than a 1m). On the flip side, I have quite a good relationship with my current boss; I have shared the offer with him and I’m shocked he wants to match it. Does it make sense to stay? These are the points I’m considering:

1. Offer is in an industry w/ a better fit based on my interests/background
2. I initially interviewed for a more senior with my current boss but he lowballed me at the time and gave me a junior role; what has …

I’m highly disappointed about the fact that whenever I talk to the HR teams or recruiters about joining bonus, they state there’s no provision. However, my male colleagues or ex co-workers who interviewed for the same position where offered a joining bonus. This has happened to me twice now and I’m starting to believe something is wrong in the system or there is some kind of biased against women at certain workplace.

When you recruiters say at the end of a 15 min call.
“I will get back to you by the end of this week” does that really mean “your not right for this position”? Because this whole thing is a waste of time. I’ve did these calls with 3 recruiters and is yet to hear back from someone. Today would be the 4th recruiter that I’ve spoken to. Does this practice annoy you guys just as much as it does us? My dream career is to be a technical recruiter but this whole thing is discouraging.

If a senior partner referred me, and I still haven't heard back after 4 weeks, what could be the reason as to the delay? Am I not getting an interview?

Hi fishes

Hello!
I was wondering what kind of contractual or other barriers I might face if I apply for one of the big 4 while working on a project with them in my current company.
I am not too involved in the project but I was in a few meetings and went on a field trip with them as well.
The position that I am applying for is in a different team and city.
Will this considered “poaching” if the consulting firm hires me? Would they need to talk to my current employer?

Does anyone know if their firm has any inclusion initiatives around hiring individuals with special needs as part of a transition program?

My younger brother has special needs so am trying to help my parents look for a few options and was wondering if any of the consulting firms have this!

I would appreciate your perspective.
I am currently working on my MBA in a professional evening and weekend program at a highly accredited university. I am thinking about transferring to a much smaller private online program, specifically because they offer a concentration in organizational health, which directly builds on my doctoral research. Does great depth and specialization outweigh the value of a highly respected generalist degree?
