CS Cash Equity Sales vs GS Finance (Risk)

Neither are technically banking. Does he want to have a customer facing role?

Hi, I think he is indifferent.. he's the type that likes to kick back and have some beers or go to the gym at night. Personally I think he is very likeable and will do well in sales. Last time i talked to him he was thinking about taking GS for "the name"

bump any help?

Look does he want a lower-intensity, less "market-oriented" role.... or does he want a front-line, stress-ridden, client-facing, ear to the street type of role. It shouldn't be that hard seeing as these roles are completely different.

Risk has better hours than Sales and is more of a 'stable' job. I would really just push him to do something he really feels comfortable doing.

Thanks. Curious does name/ prestige of GS have anything to do with the decision?

Well if you're going to be a prestige whore... If you tell someone (who knows about finance) that you are on Credit Suisse's Equity Sales desk..... by-and-large they will be far more impressed with your CS job than if you say you're in the Risk department of Goldman Sachs.
