Career Resources
Groups? FT/SA? Goals? City? Wtf?
With the plethora of info you gave, I would say GS IBD.
Too broad to comment on. GS IBD though specially if its a top group. TMT, FIG, HC.
Research or IBD
If you prefer IBD, then GS, if research then of course GS
Sorry for not providing my color. All are jr yr internships in NYC. Curious about prestige, exit opps, and any other ideas. No word on groups yet
GS for sure. whether IBD or research is what you have to decide for yourself based on your career goals, interests etc
Bump. Any other opinions? Thanks!
careful about full time conversion rate for GS, especially groups like FIG
Yes, this. I would strongly consider JPM (assuming this is for SA). GS + no offer is far inferior to JPM + offer.
Even if you want to do research long term, consider doing IB in the summer. Research SA-to-FT conversions are somewhat random (does your analyst need somebody or not?). Also, while it varies by group, GS ER is considered one of the weaker shops on the street.
That all makes sense. Thanks so much for the input! I think I am going to go with gs IBD but will definitely think more about ft conversion prospects at each firm. Happy holidays everyone.
