Wait Goldman is publicly
Wait Goldman is publicly traded...how do they have partners?
They're not really partners
They're not really partners in the law firm sense of the word; it's Goldman's highest rank (I think it's technically Partner Managing Director). They made the position to keep it partnership-ish after their IPO; there's a partner bonus pool separate from everything else.
http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2010/09/12/how-goldman...
One of those lights, slightly brighter than the rest, will be my wingtip passing over.
they aren't actual
they aren't actual 'partners', its just what they are called. Its like being a top MD. I believe goldman is the only BB that uses a system like this.
they get prestige, status, and maybe a pay increase
Prestige!!!!!
