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.

“Easily the most helpful mentor and favorite person I have worked with by far. Was extremely responsive in the slack messaging, working around me, asked for some of my past materials so that he could prepare beforehand, and during the call, really helped walk through everything I was struggling with. Ultimately, came out of the call significantly more prepared and confident then beforehand. Michael was an overall excellent head mentor, and I am super excited to work with him in the future as well. ”

Investment Banking Mock Interview

“he did really good. he was very thoughtful and we worked through a question then feedback format as it was my first mock. I really enjoyed talking to him as he was very knowledgable and, as it was my first mock we sort of were understanding how it really flows. But for some topics that i struggled on, he knew how to tailor it in a way that I could understand and ultimately made me more knowledgable overall. I guess sometimes he wasn't as engaged with my answers but still took notes which was nice of him”

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.
