Lights are always on at Goldman
Anyone else notice this? No matter what time it is, the building is always lit up with lights. I've been in other BBs, and if the rooms are empty, the lights shut off after a certain amount of time. But GS lights up the skyline.
Are people really working their THAT late, every single night
haha
Haha.
Consider: 1) Basically IBD analysts on any given team might be there unti very late. 2) Traders like to get into the office early in the morning. 3) Janitors etc clean up the offices in the middle of the night/morning.
So pretty much yes.
You gotta pay tha cost to be da Bo$$
Lol this is even funnier/sadder. Goldman had their lights up when pretty much everyone in NYC was without power.

The picture is very unique and striking given the circumstances.
^Taking a look at that article, we can observe that Twitter is haven for generally stupid people.
I shook my head and laughed at the same time, especially at this:
"Reportedly the only building with electricity in downtown Manhattan is Goldman Sachs, which gets its power from an underground source: Hades"

Clear evidence that they've figured out cold fusion and are just waiting for pricing to swing in their favor before going public with it.
If even one person is on the floor, the entire floor is lit up.. And then after hours post midnight, analysts and janitors work till whenever. I would say 3-6AM is probably when the floors may be dark, if the floor really empties out. By 6AM, at least one MD will be in already. And the day repeats..
As an analyst I can personally vouch for the fact that this is not true. My friends have told me at their firms the lights are on motion sensors as in many buildings and will routinely go out if there is no motion. You will be at your desk with lights one minute and then they go out and you have to move around or go to the control to turn them back on. Same is true for offices, the lights in senior bankers' offices are typically off at night...
True, but, when the motion sensors turn the lights off on the floor, within 30 seconds someone walks over to the light switch and turns them all back on. Also, even when the lights go out, there is still plenty of light to be visible from the street.
And I believe that the senior offices at 200 West have glass walls, which means you can see right through the offices of the senior bankers. The lights you see on are the main lights on the floor, not individual office lights.
even in a hurricane...
I'm curious as to which BBs you've been to where the lights are off at night...
early in the morning the Titan is awake
