The interview process

Described in candidates’ own words.

Get ready with your projects and technical skills from your resume. Behavioral questions are really key here; acing them will help you stand out.Candidate-reported process
So I went through interviews at Goldman Sachs for a data role like Data Scientist, Data Engineer, or Quant Analyst. It was pretty intense and well-organized, just like you'd expect from a big finance place.Candidate-reported process
So, first, a recruiter or hiring manager gives you a quick call to chat about your background and if you're into the role. Then, there's a technical interview, which might be a coding challenge or solving some data science problems with Python, SQL, or ML stuff. Could be live coding or a take-home project.Candidate-reported process
