Quality Review Analyst

Did i just shoot my foot today?? I had an interview and the HR asked me whats my current salary and how much im expecting in the role im applying for. I told her im on above 50s right now and Im looking for mid 60s to 70s. She said perfect! Did I undersell my self? I have 17 yrs of experience in retail, commercial ant mortgage banking. I well prepared how to answer this question but didnt happened as planned. The HR talks so fast that i got caught off guard.

Workforce Management Analyst

Interviewing at Goldman Sachs as a Workforce Specialist. Did the HR screening and then interviewed with direct manager + another specialist- behavioral questions/experience. Called me the next day to interview with Workforce Management Supervisor. I didn’t see much info but when I did Google I saw that it could either be a “fit” interview, or more technical. Any insight on what I might expect? 😭 Still in school and would die to just get in with GS to transition over later.

Project Coordinator

I have applied for a Graduate Financial Planning Analyst & and I have been invited for an assessment& interview, but when I looked back on the JD I have just noticed that they ask for a 2:1 degree , but I have a 2:2 ( due to some personal issues I had 3rd year) However in my CV the I didn’t mention my grade and during the application process I wasn’t asked. What do I do now? Just let the hiring manager know about directly or mention it during the interview first thing? Whats best solution?
