I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs
Interview
Was put in touch with Goldman via a Recruiting agency for two positions.
Each had 2 technical phone screens with me after which they decided to fly me out.
Onsite I interviewed with 2 different teams for a total of 10 interviews. Long day!

Question 1
They were mostly standard tech interview questions. I definitely didn't get all of them. Implement rand7 with rand5. Give me a level by level output of a binary tree. Implement a stack with two queues, etc.

Question 1
You are given two eggs, and access to a 100-storey building. Both eggs are identical. The aim is to find out the highest floor from which an egg will not break when dropped out of a window from that floor. If an egg is dropped and does not break, it is undamaged and can be dropped again. However, once an egg is broken, that’s it for that egg.
If an egg breaks when dropped from floor n, then it would also have broken from any floor above that. If an egg survives a fall, then it will survive any fall shorter than that.
The question is: What strategy should you adopt to minimize the number egg drops it takes to find the solution?. (And what is the worst case for the number of drops it will take?)
