Goldman Corporate Derivatives Team
Recently got an offer to be analyst on goldman’s corporate derivative team. Did a previous internship at a foreign doing corporate derivatives too. While I do like rates, I wonder what would be the exit opportunities for a role like this. Long-term I would like to do Emerging Market trading so not sure how that fits in. Tbh right now I just want to be employed.
Honestly, if you’ve got an offer from Goldman’s corporate derivatives team, just take it. You don’t need to have your entire long‑term path mapped out on day one. GS is a strong name, the training is solid and being in a flow product like derivatives gives you real market exposure that most analysts never get.
If you still want to end up in EM trading later, this doesn’t block you. People move around internally all the time once they’ve proven they can handle the pace. Worst case, you use the Goldman stamp after a year or two and lateral somewhere that lines up better with your long‑term goals.
Right now the priority is getting employed, building a track record and getting yourself into an environment where you can network and pivot. This role checks all those boxes. Take the offer, get in the building and figure out the rest once you’ve got some momentum.
Great advice. Contrary to what some students believe, the team actually does interesting work and you won't find yourself in a pigeon hole within 2 years. Not even close.
Should be easy to do EM CDX -> EM Corp trading. GS is large enough and good enough at all products to support some movement based on interests and headcount amongst similar products
