Based on the most helpful WSO content, there isn't any specific mention of a Goldman MD requiring analysts to print on 8x10.5-inch paper. However, discussions around printing preferences in finance often highlight the importance of presentation quality. For example, some professionals prefer bound OMs or specific paper sizes to stand out or meet client expectations. While 8.5x11 is standard, certain formats like 8x10.5 might be chosen for aesthetic or practical reasons, such as fitting into binders or creating a unique impression.

If this is a rumor, it might stem from a misunderstanding or a specific team/MD's quirky preference. Ultimately, the key takeaway is to always confirm formatting requirements with your team or MD to avoid unnecessary rework.
