How on earth do you get your application out of “in review” hell with Goldman Sachs ? Sooo many applications for VP roles in the “application is in review” stage and they don’t seem to move. Any GS recruiters who I can message privately and maybe you can give me the recruiters email for a few roles I’m most interested in so I can reach out proactively so I can maybe get at least an interview or two?

Sorry but that’s not going to help. If they really wanted you, trust they would be expediting it on their end. They are prob interviewing other candidates and they tier it. It goes through process of elimination from there.

Typically means you’re either not a top candidate and they’re discussing with others first or the role may be going away and they haven’t updated the posting yet. Hr is terrible at gs

I’ve noticed. Had someone reach out to me 2 weeks ago about a role. Followed up twice now and they’ve just vanished completely. Another for a role in NYC, nothing. Having the same experience w a role at BlackRock. They show this interest, then poof. Gone 😂

Yeah I interviewed for 2 at SLC but honestly would rather be in Dallas or NYC. But was able to break through a few times at least. Gonna keep on chugging

Probably just an indication that they're interviewing other people too. Wouldn't get lost or lose hope, but recruiters often just have a default way of letting candidates know when things are pending.

Did you have a personal referral? I have heard that can sometimes help. If I were you I would post in the job referral bowl and see if someone can refer you. Then I would reapply for the position and see what happens.

Why do you want to work here? GS sucks.

Every job sucks. Every company sucks. Way of the world.

I've heard Goldman Sachs could take up to four months to respond to applications

That's the stagnant phase for me. Even if you follow up a couple of times. Might as well try your luck with other companies.
