NY to GS SLC
I'm currently working as a Financial Analyst in NY with a multinational beauty brand. Just received an offer from Goldman Sachs, Salt Lake City through the Early Careers program. I will be working in the Global Markets team as an operations analyst.
I'm not sure how I feel about moving from NY to SLC. Is it worth it?
I lived in slc for ~5 years and would be happy to answer specific questions you have.
Ops is not going to be a glamorous role but you get a huge name on your resume and there is lots of opportunities if you stick it out. People give ops a bad rap but if you get involved with projects you will grow a great network, enjoy your work, and move up quickly.
SLC is going to be MUCH quieter than NYC (or any big city) but it can still be fun. People will sell you on the outdoor lifestyle, which is great but if you’re not into outdoor activities you can still have a good time. There’s a great brewery & food scene as well as a growing nightlife and the downtown area is very much mot Mormon, although other areas are heavily Mormon.
That’s helpful! It’s been a month since I started working and so far so good! The team is great and i know I will get a lot of opportunities here! Not to mention how exceptionally beautiful SLC is!! Never thought I’ll like hiking but I’ve been doing it almost every weekend now!
Just sent you a DM! Currently in the same scenario, have been here for a few months. Happy to talk shop a bit or answer as much as I’m able to! Feel free to reach out
big mistake man
I took the offer and moved to slc last month. It’s actually pretty good!
The pay is dogshit and so are the bonuses. Should have went to Dallas or NY, trust me.
Everyone is really mean here. You took the opportunity already. Make the most out of it now that you have the GS brand. Kill it on the job, network, and try to get back to NYC or a financial center in IBD.
