I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs (Singapore) in Feb 2026
Interview
Went through close to 6 rounds of interviews, had to go down personally to interview at their office twice. Met with team leads and associates across the APAC/Japan regions and the COO as well. Communicating rejection was not done well at all, I had to check in the portal to find out I was rejected. Whole process took close to 3-4 months.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Mostly questions related to prior experiences and how they would tie in with the job role.
Elaborative, long, very situation-based and case-based. Ask random questions to test your mental ability and presence of mind. However, they were very kind and patient with your answers. Always write a thank-you email.

Question 1
Tell about a time when you helped you team lead solve an issue that he was having difficulty in? How did you manage the dynamics after that?
Very technical interview that asked about equity valuations, how to calculate discounted cash flows, weighted average cost of capital, enterprise value, and what is happening in the financial markets. It was a great experience overall.
7+ rounds - with 2 different people in each round, motivational / competency questions + some market related and technical questions. varies by role but you need to really understand "Why GS"
