Hi everyone,
I have a first-round interview coming up with Goldman Sachs IBD and I’m a bit unsure how to balance technical and behavioral prep. I’ve heard from some people that GS focuses heavily on “explain the intuition” rather than drilling candidates on hardcore math, while others say they got a full set of valuation and accounting follow-ups that were quite tough.
For those who interviewed there recently, how deep did they go on things like DCF sensitivities, working capital adjustments, or Enterprise Value bridges? And did you feel that the behavioral part (leadership, teamwork, resilience) mattered just as much? I want to make sure I’m not over-prepping the wrong side.
Thanks!
