I recently got notified about being selected for an interview at Goldman for a Technology Associate role in NY. I don’t have direct experience in audit but I do have experience in technology adjacent roles and education background in IT (doing masters in IT Auditing). What types of questions should I be expecting at an associate level and how can I help optimize my chances? Also what’s the work life balance in technology audit?

To be honest or probably just filling some requirement to interview. Why would they interview you when they have thousands of people who have I t and auditing experience.

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.
