Those cites were pretty interesting, particularly the “Goldman Sachs Interview” comments. Almost all of them mention that “fit” questions dominate the first round of interviews. And, full-time positions definitely involve the most grueling questioning (although, one interviewee who went on and on about it, seemed to draw some skepticism) but, it would seem to me that by the time you are a senior, if you don’t have some summer interning under your belt, you would be at a disadvantage anyway.

But, here’s an interesting quote:

My first round GS NY interview was pure fit. They sent one person out of about 15 to second rounds and it was not me. They assume that you can do the job if your application is strong enough to get interviewed.
I hear GS LA was mostly technical though.

That may explain some of the discrepancy in our perceptions.

But, the real question is this - and thank you for your help on this - if all of this technical advice can be purchased for $50 off the internet, why on earth should someone shell out $200,000 for the privilege of taking accounting at CMC for three years?
