Goldman Sachs Generalist IBD vs. Credit Suisse Healthcare IBD

I have offers from both as a Summer Analyst. I am most interested in the healthcare industry, and CS offers a top healthcare/biotech experience. Goldman offers a generalist experience across multiple industries. Both opportunities are in San Francisco.

Investment Banking Mock Interview

“Great chat with Arnau. Arnau was an excellent mentor. We worked through a case study using a SWOT analysis, and he showed me how to structure each section, pull out the key strengths and risks, and tie everything back to a clear recommendation. He explained his thinking step by step, asked questions that pushed me to go deeper, and gave honest, specific feedback on where my analysis could be sharper. I left with a framework I can reuse. Highly recommend him to anyone preparing for case interviews.”

Investment Banking Short Resume Review / Recap

“It was a very fruitful call. We went through my complete resume and he gave both qualatative and formatting feedback. It is now a submittable resume for summer 2028 recruiting. We also discussed some general recruiting advice and I think I am better positioned for recruiting now as a whole, in terms of mindset and motivatin.”

GS Generalist.

The brand name is far better
You don't know for certain you want healthcare, so why not take the opportunity to explore all industries over the summer stint? If you still like healthcare then having that GS name on your resume can help you get into a healthcare group FT. You could end up loving another industry and you had no idea prior.
