If I want to apply for trading at GS, which division would I apply to? Is it FICC or Equities? My other question is more vague: how do you show interest in finance, which is crucial to get into IBD, if youre pursuing only an engineering degree? Thanks.

you want Equities. They say Dallas is the place to be, i wish you all the luck
You have a long ways to go.
Equities and FI are two different areas of S&T. Also, IBD is not S&T, its a seperate division. But you can show interest in both simultaneously by reading the GS website.
Are you a rising sophomore?
equities in dallas. I hear lots of good things. lol.
seiye, just in case you didn't know, we're joking.
Joking about what? Eq. in Dallas is better than PWM in NYC...
what's with all the dumbasses quoting Liar's Poker?
How about the dumbasses not understanding the joke? Wanting to go into trading and not reading that book is like going into the seminary and not reading the Bible...
Yeah, not really.
You been on a trading floor recently? It's nothing like what it was 20 years ago. It's a decent read, but not nearly as important as people make it out to be.
the trading floor is dying, slowly, but surely.
comments like these are so naive and unfounded. trading still comprises 75% or so of many BBs revenue and aren't going anywhere. lots of banks are shifting to a model where traders take more risk as spreads narrow in order to keep revenues up.
Um, he said the "trading floor", and he's right.
Don't be too quick on the draw.
yeah he's right, but no one is referring to the same thing he is
Agreed, trading at an exchange/in a pit is definitely dying, but trading otherwise is far from dying. Look at Goldman's revenue from trading versus IBD, trading is doing quite well.
