Hey all,
Landed a GS offer through their regular process (target school). Had two TMT interviewers and two FIG interviews during my process - both sets responded to my follow-ups and offered to speak to me about their groups.
I realize that these are considered the "top" groups at the bank, so I really just wanted to get a sense of differences in culture, deal flow, exit ops, etc between the groups.
Thanks guys!

what industry interests you more should be your first question, i think.
pm-ing you
TMT hands down. Take it from a FIG banker, FIG sucks.
Care to go into a little deeper? Are you getting any exposure to fin-tech or anything that doesn't fall under banks/insurance?
TMT...
Why?
bump
TMT. More exciting, cooler deals.
Most people will either say FIG is boring as shit or that it pigeonholes you too much for the future, or a combination of the two.
TMT is always in the news, "cooler" deals, and a top group. It won't pigeonhole you either. Seems like a no-brainer to me.
You got into two of the most prestigious groups of the most prestigious bank on Wall Street and you are asking here for advice / rely on which one to take? If you got this far, I am sure you can figure out a better way to get this information...?
I have a very particular set of skills

This is like asking a bunch of strangers what flavor ice cream you should order.
You rank them and they rank you. Why wouldn't you want to vie for both? And even if you're lucky enough to get both as they are both top groups , are you seriously going to compare them?
