Seems like Goldman has the rep of sharp elbows and sweaty hours across the board. Is there any group on the classic IBD side that this isn’t true? I’ve seen that healthcare and/or C&R (post the two separating) may have better cultures than groups like fig/tmt.

Yea firm is good
Bro please shut the fuck up
Ok
Yeah I think we all learned (and a lot of us benefitted from) that Goldman’s culture overall is sweaty and garbage
So no need to work there. Plenty of other banks
I think the point of the thread is to see if there are any groups where you don’t sacrifice your sanity to work there
Maybe GS TLV
When I recruited for GS HR emailed me my first round on Saturday evening. When also making some general inquiries I sometimes would receive a response on Saturday.
If BO works at least 6 days a week, that should tell you how life is in IB.
