It was 75/15 (extra 5 for signing straight from internship) at BB (not GS) when I interned 2 years ago.
Wouldn't be surprised, but I doubt Goldman is paying above market so unless everyone else has changed might be bullshit
I have seen interns get an extra 5K signing if they had other offers or were really wanted by the group, but the 80+20 seems kind of far fetched, but it might still be true.
not anything ive heard on the street....
I'd call bullshit
Only place close to that is Evercore at 75k+12.5k signing +5k summer incentive. Goldman is still 70k+10k+0k summer incentive so your friend is full of it
