I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs (London, England) in Jan 2026
Interview
It was a relatively straightforward phone interview where I was asked to explain my motivation for applying to Goldman Sachs. In addition to that, the interviewer explored a few personality-based questions to better understand who I am, how I think, and how I tend to respond in different situations. I was also asked how I would approach certain hypothetical scenarios, which gave me the opportunity to demonstrate my problem-solving style and decision-making process.
