I applied online and sent some follow up emails - then had 5 separate interviews over 6 months with various members of the team, having gone through process with in-house recruiters. Timescale probably protracted due to Covid.

Sent CV via GS website - no test. Invited to interview about 2 weeks later. Strong impression that there are 2 rounds but I only went to the first. First round included 2 interviews with a PWN finance professional and analysts of the team. Interview with the finance professional was an unstructured conversation, asking relevant and nothing surprising. They described their role and how their role interact with the position I applied. From my view, their responsibility seemed to take care of the admin side for clients and the role of financial analyst is to feed market info to their clients. The next interview with the financial analysts gave more insight into the role - nothing seemed technical about it, pretty based around market news and how it affects client's portfolio. At this point I felt perhaps the role isn't exactly what I was looking for as progression seems like a grey box and exit option is limited unless you acquired further qualification, little tech and potential value added is limited as you mostly use other team's research to relay the news / strategy to their clients
