GS TMT (SF) Culture
Everybody calls this the best group on the street bc of the impeccable deal flow and exits, but what is the culture of the office like? As many hardos as in NY? Is 100 hour weeks the norm? Any insight into GS SF generally would be great

idk much but this could be an indication of the culture?
oof that is not looking good...hopefully things have changed since 2015. Not sure if I buy “saturdays are off” though
Have heard brutal things, anecdotally have been told that since move to wfh, top bucket analysts have been getting crushed - frequent nights past 2-3AM, no senior regard for juniors. Obviously a top top tier shop but what I've been told
Pretty sure the GS TMT everyone alludes to is NY given their insane exits to KKR/Apollo/BX NYC. SF is good, but is moreso GS Tech and has people interested in the tech industry rather than traditional buyout.
Has been my impression as well; I'm sure both have amazing exits but the pedigree does seem higher in NYC
Yeah I guess this is true. I was thinking more towards VC exits and places like Silver Lake since i’m tech focused. I do wonder how much the culture differentiates between the two locations however
No
Ooh what’s with the SF haters in this thread...I’m not into rankings at all but we’re not gonna act like CS TMT > GS TMT SF lmao get a brain.
Guys, whether CS or GS or MS is better, who cares... As an analyst you'll develop fundamentals skills at all of those places and then after 1-2 years you can gtfo
Facts, plus it’s all tech banking so if you wanna stay in tech whether that be finance or corp, you’re pretty much set in the tech field.
thread of interns arguing over which group (that they will never get an offer to) is more prestigious, basing their entire argument on speculation
I.e. business as usual
It’s very stupid— I just wanted my question answered without all the pissing contest shit since I’ll be interning there next summer lol.
what was the return offer rate like this summer?
I'd say culture is a very varied idea, but the people I know from the firm are great and easy to get along with. Yes, the hours are tough and yes the responsibilities and exits are both top-notch but it really comes down to what you want. Even from SF, I know from friends that if you're really interested you can get top opportunities in NY (although harder) and you'll have opportunities with pretty much every top exit in tech. The only groups that compare here are Qatalyst and MS Menlo and that's more of a matter of preference although I'd take Qatalyst any day of the week
