I just received a first round interview for at GS for a role that seems like internal strategic finance (job description says stuff like ad hoc analysis, construct competitor analysis, etc.) however I applied for and even got a referral for an FO (non-IB) role. I’m kinda bummed they didn’t take me for the latter role but if I get the above role, is internally transferring easy? Is the role even good?

For context, I’m trying to get IB/Strategy consulting roles, with LT a goal being on buyside.

Are you sure you didn't get the FO role? I'd get clarity on that if you can - it can't hurt to express real interest. Can't speak to how easy internal transfers are over there but if it looks like a good opp at the end of the day I'd take it until something better comes along.

Yeah I directly emailed HR that I wanted to interview for the FO role instead but they didn’t respond with anything so far. I’m a bit surprised because the referee is at a senior level so idk what’s up or what to do. I just feel it’s a step down from what I applied to or want for myself so it’s low-key disheartening
