Interviewed with GS last week. It was a coding + quant, 1hr each. Wrote to HR about the outcome yesterday, but no response yet. Any idea how long it usually takes to communicate the outcome? Update: Got a rejection mail couple of days ago and had asked for a feedback. My coding round didn't go well, probably that is reason for the rejection. I had asked the HR before the interview about the expectation on the coding side, but there was no concrete answer. But the HR did mention that it is not a developer role (good to have developer skills not required). The interviewers were much younger to me, in analyst and senior analyst roles. I can see a pattern that from my past experience, that whenever an younger professional is interviewing me the result was always against me. Whereas the senior professionals were more accommodating and understanding about the value I can add. I had a similar experience with Amazon (Applied scientist) in the past (coding was the main drawback). I have never coded professionally in the past and the only time I had to code was to perform certain simulations. Coming to my background, I have a PhD in math (probability), bachelors and masters in statistics and a postdoc experience of about 4 years in math physics (read probability) with a good publications. My current role is very dry and highly uninteresting. Any pointers on how to prepare for these coding rounds and in general approaching the job market? #goldmansachs #goldman #interview #finance #Amazon #jobhunt #jobfit
Would say wait at least 3 to 5 business days before you start to get nervous
More like 3-10 business days.
What’s the TC for GS quants?
No idea, would like to know.
HCM takes centuries to get back to you don't worry.
1-5 weeks
for IB it's usually very soon after (a couple days), not sure for quant
Perhaps it tells you about their company/team's culture? There are many veteran academicians in an HFT firm that I just interned. I would imagine you would be a good fit. Also some of them are making big bucks these days and are hiring aggressively. It could be a good time jumping to the buyside.
Probably. But where I live, there aren't many HFT firms. Wouldn't mind moving to other country, but it seem to be a distant thing given the current scenario.
What kinds of questions did they ask for quant?
Nothing profound, usual puzzles (algorithms, probabilistic, game theory).
