The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs (New York, NY) in Dec 2009
Interview
Was contacted on LinkedIn to fill position in software development group focused on trade optimization strategies. Extremely high skillset in group, very "algorithmically literate" with a focus on functional programming, mathematics, highly parallel computation.
The compensation plan for developers is similar to that of traders: a small base (by New York standards), with a very significant variable bonus.
