I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs in Apr 2025
Interview
Attended coderpad round recently for an Associate role in US. Interviewer was very supportive. Two behavioral questions and two programs were asked. Had a very good experience. Hoping for positive result. My preparation - Last 3 months GS tagged Leetcode problems. Any tips for super day would be helpful.
