GS Application Problem: Interned at PwC, what to choose when applying Goldman Sachs?

So GS asks to choose whether I am a former PwC employee. I interned at PwC for 2 month this winter but not sure whether I am a "PwC employee"? Will GS turn me down if I said yes when applying, or it actually does not matter? Thanks.

“Jonathan, was really helpful. The biggest takeaway was how to run outreach: cast a wide net now, then cut back to the firms where I get traction. Adding middle-market and Canadian banks like Harris Williams, Lincoln, and BMO was something I hadn’t thought about. I’m also changing my emails to be shorter, with a quick hook and a 15-minute ask, and I’ll end chats by asking who they’d recommend I talk to next instead of asking for a referral. Having Stifel as a fallback took some pressure off. Thanks for making it so actionable.”

“Aditya is amazing mentor! We spent 1h instead of 30m and we went through the whole linkdn to transform it to IB oriented. Very convinient that all messages in Slack and it is possible directly to copy in the link. On the improvement, not much to say. Thank you!”

It doesn't really matter. They just ask this for confidentially issue I think as PwC audits them. Plus depending on what you did at PwC it actually might help you due to the experience you gained.

I'm talking about liquid. Rich enough to have your own jet. Rich enough not to waste time. Fifty, a hundred million dollars, buddy. A player. Or nothing. See my Blog & AMA
