Hair loss and various cardiovascular conditions
buddy of mine got a vest and bag
the only merch was a comically large yeti knockoff
meal stipends are $30 for dinner and $30 for “midnight meal” (you will use it), $30 every four hours on weekends
Ubers after 9pm and both ways on the weekends
do we get a gym membership at like equinox during the internship/fulltime?
there’s a gym in 200 west, but you pay for the membership… probably not a good call for the internship
I hope you’re not going to GS just for the perks because you will be disappointed
Gift bag: GS Mammoth, GS bottle, notebook. Definitely no banker vests and bags.
Dinner: US$30 after 8pm (can order after 5pm because you will definitely be in office after 8pm) on weekdays - applies for lunch and dinner on weekends for every four hours worked (max 2 meals) - no midnight meal when I was there.
Uber/taxi: after 9pm weekdays, to-and-from on weekends.
Note: meal stipiend and Ubers technically apply to Saturday, but you need to apply for a Saturday exception and I was not going to be asking a senior banker to initate that process, so I just paid out of pocket.
That's it - no gym memberships, etc.
