Received an invite for a superday very quickly after applying to Goldman. Recruiter never sent me the zoom password and then the password failed to work so everything started a full 15 minutes late. Interviews went great including a “they’ll definitely be a second round” but then I received the rejection email the next day. Do we think the tech issues played into that significantly or just my interview not stacking up to other candidates?

Wow. Same thing happened to me. And my first interview was literally over the phone doing scenario based questions (which was really hard to
Show them my thinking, but still managed) second was all zooms, super day crushed it then got a rejection letter. Don’t understand it either, but going to take it as a learning experience and apply again in 6 months. If you want to prepare together feel free to hop in my DMs. All my best!

1.5 years ago I advanced to final round at GS, pulled out all the stops, and was very confident I’d get it. I didn’t. Fast forward to now when I’m interviewing, I could see that I made so many mistakes: not being polished, not thorough enough, etc. in the past. My interviewing skills and confidence is just on another level now (with results to show), and I totally see why I didn’t do well 1.5 years ago. Sometimes you think you crushed it but you can’t know until you have improved.
