I have a series of interviews at Goldman Sachs for a back office role assisting the launch of a new product. What type of questions should I be on the ready for?

Ehh hard to say without knowing more...

At the very least be ready for some of the more common 8-10 behavioural questions (problem solving, deadlines, etc)

Would think ahead of the opportunities and problems associated with that particular product, particularly in the launch phase, and form a view on the approach you would take to solve.

Try have a good answer for why you are excited about the role / company, it's your chance to show you've done your research. The more specific you can get the better

Bonus points if your drop some commentary about their CEO being a hectic DJ

Really appreciate the input. Thank you! I’m prepping for an Amazon interview too and ive been given and able to find way more direction on what to study up on and expect. Since this isn’t a FO role, it’s difficult to find any questions or interview experiences recounts.

Is there anyone on here who’s switched sides - from defense to plaintiff - and can speak to their experience / general things to think about? I’ve just moved and gone on/going through multiple interview rounds with a big defense firm and a plaintiffs firm doing high verdict litigation (established enough to pay pretty good associate salaries). Not trying to jinx myself before any offers, but I’ve really liked the people at both firms and want to take my time to consider all angles (cont)
