After all the comments I'm starting to have anxiety for you guys working in GS. Stay strong, you'll all be fine eventually
when did the layoff list get finalized? or do all people on the list get laid off, or just a subset?
gulag starts tomorrow. i've lived it
Question: I got laid off from Goldman and have 2 offers: 1) from Goldman (in a different revenue-generating team) and 2) at another firm that does impact investing, which is something I'm passionate about.
On one hand, I'm concerned about "salvaging" my perfect resume up to this point (I have excelled at EVERYTHING in life up until the layoff), so feel like being rehired from Goldman is a message on my resume that confirms I wasn't a terrible employee and am indeed talented.
On the other hand, life is short and what is more important is answering your life's calling. Ultimately, what matters in life is not your legacy but rather if you made life better for others. But not everyone in society holds this view -- especially in finance. Also, people might think that impact investing was my backup (despite my networking with these types of firms before my layoff).
I'm young and can likely back to Goldman or go into impact investing at another point in my life. What is more important now -- going back to Goldman to "salvage my resume" or saying, "Screw it, Goldman served its purpose in equipping me with the skills for impact investing dream job?"
I would stay at GS . It will look like you transferred internally. You can find an impact investing role later
Lol, no one voluntarily leaves IBD for a less competitive division if their long term goal is impact investing.
This is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Why would you go back to a firm that fired you and for a role that you are not interested in? Also -- everyone knows that the people who transfer from IBD to some bullshit job at the same bank just couldn't get into PE / investing.
I used to work at GS and know that going back would be absolute hell. Go with the impact investing Gen Z horseshit and smile when Goldman bankers are making decks for you.
And stop being a pussy and caring about what others think. Thx.
