  • 8. What advice would you give to others applying to Goldman Sachs Group
  • Prepare well for the interviews and application process but for me personally, the interviews with Goldman Sachs were the easiest I have done so far. This is mainly due to yourself directing the conversation. Be aware that whatever you say, they will follow up on that so guide the interview to where you want it to go. And at the end of the day, it does also involve luck so don't stress!
