Dealflow is good, but reputation is kinda low especially in the eyes of others at GS / GS alum.
Thanks - Do you know anything about comp and exit opportunities? I know the group is pretty young, so it might be a small sample size.
Yep. Small sample size, but historically exits have been worse than other groups at GS but on par with decent groups at other BBs.
In terms of comp, not too sure but would assume same base and maybe slightly lower bonuses.
Thank you for the valuable insight, incoming 2026 SA.
Any actually informed people have thoughts?
It's GS dude, just fucking take it
