GS Top Groups & Exits (New Policy)
Hi guys,
I understand that this topic has been discussed to an extent, but I'm searching for the most up to date information.
I was fortunate enough to receive an offer from GS IBD SA, and would appreciate your insights on the following points so that I can make a decision.
1. GS has a new policy barring its analysts from recruiting for other opportunities in Year 1. Given that recruiting begins in February, how does this affect exits/recruiting?
2. What's the best way to go about finding where analysts from top groups have placed in the past? I've tried searching on LinkedIn, but I only get around 5 hits for associates in PE for GS FIG, which I know can't be true. Thoughts?
3. Interested in hearing any opinion on GS consumer/healthcare, FIG, TMT, Sponsors
Thanks in advance.
Also interested.
Friends at GS have said that the new policy makes it a bit harder to recruit, but everyone still does it anyway. People still get great exits, and it clearly doesn't inhibit good talent from getting good jobs. It appears senior management knows this is the case; just don't get caught.
If you're on a free LinkedIn account, you'll only be able to full profiles of 2nd-degree connections, so if you don't have that many connections on LinkedIn as is, you won't be able to see the entire universe of people who have worked at GS and are now in PE. If you upgrade to a premium account, it'll help. Make sure you change search settings for Past Company to Goldman Sachs, Current Company to All, and Industry to Investment Management and Venture Capital & Private Equity. Another way would be to simply go on PE websites and look at their team bios.
GS TMT and FIG have some of the best recruiting on the street. Not sure about Consumer-Healthcare nor Sponsors.
Thank you. Very helpful!
I don't get why people waste credits on throwing MS at throwaway accounts. You could be using these credits to reward good information.
Anyways, would still appreciate any new insight on GS Cons/Healthcare, FIG, TMT, Sponsors. Thanks

There are posts from a couple years ago about how great the group was... and now it seems to be a group to avoid? Is it solely based on culture, or are there weak placements?
A few years ago, it was one of the most understaffed, overworked groups on the street with a hostile culture. I've heard things are improving, but it wasn't a great spot as of a few years ago.

Saw GS's recent class placed into Trump's senior economic advisor group. Should I take this offer over MS? Who are they placing into comparable groups?
