Position: Senior TPM role in Goldman Sachs at a VP level, 10+ YOE

I interviewed with an MD (hiring manager) for a Senior Technical Program Manager position, and the interview was titled "Initial Virtual Interview" that lasted 30 mins.

Now I am being invited for Virtual Panel Interviews with the Data Center & User Building Team, another 3 rounds of interviews, 45 mins each with 3 different people.

Any guidance to prepare for these rounds will be appreciated

How did you prepare for the first interview that was 30 minutes?

I feel like if you’re interviewing for a VP level role with 10+ years of experience, you should probably know how to prepare for an interview cycle.

If not, use your favorite LLM to get some sample interview questions or best practices.

- Have a couple STAR answers ready to go.
- Research company so you can answer why here
- have your elevator speech honed

Thanks!

I can really use some direction. My background, I've worked 2 years in strategy and am currently coming off an exhausting year 2 in investment banking. I didn't particularly enjoy either role and am not interested in moving over to the buy-side or some monotonous FP&A role. Everybody says there's exit-ops aplenty, but I find myself with less options and even more picky than I did as an ambitious T2 undergrad student. Where do I go from here?

Alternatively, I can try finding an in-house role before school starts but I know work/life balance is never guaranteed. Thoughts?
