GS Groups [NOT TMT]

Recently received a lateral offer to GS (2nd year analyst) and am not sure which group I want to pursue. Currently have not received a group placement but HR has told me TMT is full. I'm not super turned on by PE, but more interested in HF / Corp Dev / Start-Up work.

Not sure which of the following groups I should aim for:

FIG

Consumer Retail

Healthcare

Industrials

jeez thats insane. how did you get in touch with them? i'd just work in their groups

 

Industrials has worst culture (long hours, weekend work, difficult personalities, old-school vibes) across GS period. If you care about WLB at all, avoid. 

Other three groups listed are all strong. Don't have great insight on culture, but have heard great things about Consumer culture-wise. No need to worry about deal flow at either, so would go with your industry interest / personal fit.
