BB IBD to GS Special Situations Group
Guys,
Would appreciate any honest and experienced answers, I´ve seen this question raised before and for some reason ppl failed to give good advice or thought OP was trolling.
I have a big picture idea of what GS´s Special Situations Group is and what the role of the Analyst there is, but for those that are more familiar with this particular position, what exactly are the daily roles of the analyst at this group? Also, if you guys know, what is the approx. salary of an analyst working there?
Trying to weigh the cons - pros of switching from BB IBD Analyst program to being an analyst at this particular group within Goldman. How would you compare the IBD experience with being an analyst at this particular desk, the exit opps, hours, etc?
Would appreciate the advice, thanks!
GOLDMAN SACHS ANYTHING >>> ANYTHING ELSE!!
Goldman Sachs HR rep exit opps is primarily to megafund. Goldman Sachs janitor > MS IBD.
EDIT: Did people not realize this was sarcastic?
Ruhroh, someone said, "Goldman Sachs"- cue the WSO running gag. (Trolls show up.)
In general, hours in S&T at GS look pretty similar to banking hours elsewhere. One of my old roommates was pulling 16 hour days there. He did largely get his weekends off, though.
Obviously there are a lot of smart people there. Special Situations, however, is a place where there's a risk of insider trading, and GS is under a lot of scrutiny. You do not want to be caught in that group when someone gets investigated by the SEC. Just make sure you trust the people you'll be working with.
