United KingdomPosted Nov 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went through a specialized program-driven interview sequence (via a women’s trading academy) rather than the standard Goldman format, with three rounds including a practical trading simulation.

Round 1: HR interview — a first conversational screen focused on fit.
Round 2: two trade/company pitches — interviews centered on presenting trade or company ideas.
Round 3: trading game — a simple buy/sell market-making simulation. Outcome: I wasn’t offered the role, and my takeaway was that even with presentations and games, clear reasoning and staying structured under time pressure mattered most.
