Study hard. Hey good grades. Diversify your personality. It’s unlikely Goldman is going to beg you to stay. Banking is known to be an industry feeder to PE and HF
😂😂😂 so young and naive.
move fast. Whenever your around GS people. literally walk faster, run faster, sometimes you gotta get down and slide to them.
Dance faster, shit faster, eat faster, fart faster. The whole 18 yards
Also learn slide canceling, makes you walk even faster
This goes back to that whole pissing in the bottle post
As Patrick Curtis once wrote: you can be a double major in finance and economics from Wharton and still know jack shit compared to a 1st year analyst from the middle of no where Nebraska
Damn bruh no need to doWharton like that!
I said that? Wow, I'm not funny
Well you actually said "You can have a 4.0 with a double major in finance and economics from Wharton, but you still know little compared to the first-year analyst across the table" in your interview guide, but I wanted to put more spice
If I were you, I'd try to survive without getting beaten up in high school and try to get at least one member of the opposite sex to sleep with me during undergrad. based on your post, those are going to be bigger challenges than getting into GS.
or same sex
You're right. And username checks out. I should amend to 'try to get at least one person to sleep with you'
Bro this post has to be a joke
What are these vaginas everyone is talking about?
honestly cannot tell if this is a troll post
The state of WSO
Learn how to speak normally
Why use many words when few word do trick?
Be the one of the top 13 analysts, then band with the other 12 to talk good about GS on some slides - don't forget to quote your sources!
Just try not to Crème De La Crème in your pants if you ever get a interview.
While this is probably a troll post, I wouldn't be surprised otherwise having met some of the people in my intern class.
This is 100% serious. Ever since I changed my title on linkedin to SA 2022 at an EB, been getting a lot of random high schoolers sending linkedin requests lol.
Its not a troll post , I am literally a 17 year old. This place is so hostile
Thats why i love it more , Been here for only a week
i hate you
how can this site be this retarded to not detect bait
