Is the GS Discount Still Real?
Heard that GS analysts got insanely high bonuses (top of the street apart from EVC / CVP). Does that mean GS discount no longer exists? Will it be the same for associates / VPs and above?

bump
Exists at the associate level to a significant degree despite their jaw boning to the contrary. Bonkers imo. I’m supposed to give up ~150-250k during a 3 year period for a marginally better “brand” ? I’m 29, No thanks
We got a great bonus
could you specify pls?
No, not anymore, not really. Analysts make a lot.
Real at Asso and above for sure
we won't know unti Asso bonus hits in Jan
Yes, at associate and VP level.
Is there a discount versus other BBs at the associate level? If so, that's pretty alarming
Noone knows until associate / VP comp in the spring
Not if you're first year associate who's still on mid year cycle (yes GS does that), so the payout was in Aug
That’s just a relabeled analyst 3
No one knows whether this year's bonus was a fluke
That is exactly the right question. Knowing GS and how they consistently screw their workforce it very likely was.
mba class of 2020 associate base salaries - EVR: $200k, MS/JPM: $175k, GS: $150. Yeah, the discount still exists.
GS will eventually raise to 175k right? An2 125 and Aso1 150 makes no sense
