TL; DR
I spent more than 6.5 hours on the interviews, without counting the preparation time, cleared all rounds, only for Goldman to reject me without even giving me an offer.
A Goldman Sachs recruiter reached out to me for associate role. He said overall CTC would go beyond 65 Lakhs. I said I’m interested in applying.
Eventually I went through 6 rounds of interviews and cleared them all. Another HR reached out to me, saying the offer is confirmed and asked me my salary expectation and collected all salary related documents from me. Based on the hike I’m supposed to get from Amazon, I said I’m expecting above 65 LPA. I also told her I have a competing offer from Navi with 64 Lakhs. This HR said she would call me after a few days and discuss salary details.
I did not receive any response from her, I had to keep calling her every 3 days once to get updates. After 2 weeks she simply said they are cancelling the offer since they can’t pay as per my expectations. I told her at least tell me what your best offer is, I will then make a call based on that. She simply refused to give more details and instead asked me to lower my expectations and tell her my revised expectations.
She basically wants me to LOWBALL MYSELF. Two days later I got a mail from her saying they are rejecting my candidature since they can’t meet my expectations.
WTF

I really don’t understand the hate for GS. either i am lucky or you are sour that GS did not offer you a job..
HRs will tell you random dates by when they would update you, but will never do so.
You keep following up, in vain.
I ended up looping all the seniors that took my interview and the directors of the 2 teams I was talking to, described how torturing my experience was.
