Sharran Srivatsaa, president of Acquisition.com and a former Goldman Sachs wealth manager, this fall shared a story on TikTok about how he managed to get hired at Goldman Sachs—a process that apparently required 39 one-on-one interviews, including one that lasted less than a minute but offered wisdom about what it takes to land a job at a prestigious Wall Street bank.
The entrepreneur, who has built a track record as a four-time Inc. 500 entrepreneur, recounted the unconventional interview experience that occurred during his post-MBA job search. According to Srivatsaa’s account, one particular interview involved a managing director who immediately challenged him with an unusual test.
