European Special Situation at Goldman

Hi, I know there are some topics about it, but I was wondering if anybody can give me different angles - I have a video interview and I case I will be successful, the AC.

What do they do exactly? I have read different things. How's the group in term of exit opportunities (i.e: do you think I could move easily to GS IBd?)

Thanks in advance

In terms of your second question, is there a reason you'd want to move from special sits to sellside? Decent number of people who join that group, at least in the US, are coming from an ib role.

As much as GS parades their internal mobility, it is pretty difficult (not impossible), but I'd assume an ib role at another firm would be entirely doable.
