I am planning to apply to the one day event in NYC that Goldman holds for engineering students to get a perspective on working the firm. But I wanted to know from you guys if you have heard of about this and if it's legit.

you wanna work in the BO? if so, go for it.
back office? I think this summit is more for engineers who would not consider going into banking; obviously banks have a high use for engineers and mathy people on their trading desks and IBD. correct me if I'm wrong.
Yes, I have a friend that graduated from MIT as an engineering major, and she worked in S&T for one of the BB I-banks. Definitely S&T considers a lot of engineering students, as long as your from one of the top programs.
Any one have more info on this? Got invited but I'm not interested in BO roles or S&T.
Yea, what's the deal on this thing? I just got an invitation.
Also invited. Are you a URM/at a target? What are you majoring in?
I'm at a target, not a URM, majoring in applied math
Currently at a non-target majoring in comp sci. Definitely not a URM.
target, not urm. worth going to? they are paying for the travel....
anyone going?
target, not urm.
I'm gonna go. Sure it will be interesting, even if its not necessarily focused on IB.
Hi,
I was invited for this year's engineers summit. How was your experience last year?
Thanks
anyone know what the agenda for the day will be? also what departments we will be meeting?
I RSVPd but haven't heard any more info.
just got invited for the 2012 engineers summit. anyone that went last year wanna share how much focus there was on IBD?
I was invited as well. Does anyone have details from last year's event?
I attended the engineering summit yesterday and wanted to comment on the event for future users. The event was extremely well organized and it was clear that the company put a lot of effort into the event. There were approximately 50 students present and the target to non-target ratio was heavily skewed towards targets. However, there were a few other students like me who were from non-targets, so it is definitely possible to be invited if your resume is solid. Also, the sophomore to junior ratio was approximately 50%.
There were a lot of activities planned, including a networking lunch, mock interviews, and networking reception. I think the event would have been perfect if a trading floor tour had been included as well.
The divisions that were represented were primarily Operations and Technology, although Securities had a strong showing. Unfortunately, there was only a small presence from the Investment Banking division. I felt there was too much emphasis on BO and MO divisions, and not enough emphasis on FO divisions. However, during the networking sessions, there were representatives from each division present.
Overall, the event was a good opportunity to "get your name into the system" and to meet people with whom to follow up by email later. Anyone who is invited next year should not decided whether or not to attend based on the divisions present. You should just go and enjoy the event. It was a very exciting day and I met a lot of cool people.
Hey, I was there as well. You're pretty much spot on in your description of the event. I might just add that it seemed most people at the event were interested in the FO which was funnily enough not the emphasis of the event. I did get to speak to a banker in the natural resources group at the networking session though. Any idea how many people applied for the event?
