Goldman SA to FT 2011

So I've heard Goldman is known for having lower conversion rates for SA to FT compared to the rest of the BBs, but does anyone know what the percentage of interns for 2011 received offers in Sales and Trading? What are expectations for this year? Answers would be greatly appreciated!!!

Yes, they are hiring more interns because the economy is coming out of a recession so they need more staff. FT offers at GS are based mostly on the candidate's fit.

 
bankersa329123i heard there are 200 interns for the securities division, so there could be potentially 140 offers handed out?

200 interns solely in S&T?? maybe you mean for all divisions (ex. IDB + S&T+ etc.)?

200 is typically the correct number. However, GS takes many more sophomore SAs than the other banks (~30% from what I've heard) and those participants clearly won't be getting FT offers but rather SA offers for another summer.

 

3 years back it was 55%, 2 years it was 66%, and last year a friend said it was on the threshold of 70%. She's spent two summers with them and placed full-time for TMT (gasp).

I am permanently behind on PMs, it's not personal.
 

I believe the retention percentage figure cited includes that figure. "Return offer" just means move from junior SA to FT or sophomore SA to junior SA, either way you're still staying inside.
