          Pros

          There were generally good colleagues who generally pulled their weight. The support staff were generally very good and friendly. The facilities, particularly the library, were very good.

          Cons

          Towards the end there was some pressure from upper management who barely knew or appreciated what I did. The IT services was particularly bad, although that improved later on. The bureaucracy.

        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?
