Questions I am dying to ask

hello, I am new to this forum and was hoping if someone could give me insight into a couple of topics.

  • do you need internships to work at Goldman to land an analyst spot? -how to you advance enough to make partner? aka everyone's dream job (there is not enough solid info for me to get a solid answer)
  • What is better PE ie: Blackstone analyst vs GS analyst? :which pays more?

to wrap this up how does campus recruiting work.

Thank you!!!

Wow for being new here its dishearning that nobody can give me a good answer I have done the research why else would I be aksing?

 

To your question on making Partner..The typical route is to simply make yourself a partner. Just go to legalzoom, form a partnership, and list The Goldman Sachs as a partner. Subsequently go about your days as a "rain maker." Dream job achieved. Have fun walking bow-legged the rest of your life, BSD Partner at The Goldman Sachs.

*Note that this will only work if you promptly update your linkedin upon forming said partnership.

 

Well it seems either I'm getting sarcastic answer or just being told I'm wrong I ask very basic questions for instance is it true that partners make 900k before bonus and can make between 1M+ in a good year I've heard of partners making 10M+ in a single year?

 

1) You don't need internship to land a job as analyst, but intern is the fast way to get there.

2) Two ways to advance, Climb the corporate ladder the traditional way or start your own firm.

3) Both are good

4) Go to career fairs in ur college
