Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Goldman Sachs (New York, NY)
Colloquio
The interview process is not necessarily specific to the role but focus mostly on technical questions. It starts with a coding test (Coderpad) followed by a series of pair interviews with strategists/technologists. Expect brain teasers, math problems (probability) and the foundation of software engineering (algorithms, data structures, etc.)
Domande di colloquio [1]
Domanda 1
You have a bag with 100 identical golf balls in it. Each ball is labeled by a number between 1 and 100 (no duplicates). By paying $1 per draw, you can pick one ball from the bag. Then you can either stop and you will be paid an amount in $ equivalent to the number on the ball or you can reinsert the ball in the bag and extract again. What is the optimal strategy to maximize the gain?

Puzzles (brain teasers), maths questions and programming challenges. The interviewers tried to understand how deep my knowledge was on each of the topics we talked about. There is no room for making stuff up, please don't try that.
