GS S&T
I have a GS S&T superday on Jan. 14 and have 2 quick questions:
1) Are FICC desks separated from other desks within S&T at GS? I feel like it is even harder to get into FICC at GS for some reason....is FICC separated from normal securities in GS?
2) What is the intern-FT conversion rate at GS? I have an offer from Citi that expires in 2 days (I'm saying no)...but I know their conversion rate is like 70%. Is GS tough because they hire more interns than they have spots for or is it because super competitive..probably both? Anyone know a number from GS for conversion to FT?
Citi's conversion rate is definitely higher; I am unsure what GS was last year but traditionally it's closer to 50%.
Yeah, not saying it should affect your decision necessarily, but GS is known for having a relatively low conversion rate (especially in S&T where it can be more volatile).
I've been told it was around 60-70% the past 2 years
GS S&T in Chicago (Originally Posted: 01/05/2013)
I'm trying to learn more about which desks are located there. I'm thinking there might be a focus on listed futures and options, but that's only a guess. Also, if anyone could comment on the quality of their Chicago S&T SA program, that would be great. I used to search function and couldn't find anything.
They've probably got full sales coverage, and at least some trading on most products, but that's just speculation.
I know the BB I work at in Chicago has a full sales coverage, but I think most of the trading is futures/options because the CBOE is right down the street.
They have about 60 traders in the Chicago office (don't know about sales). More of a tight-nit, family atmosphere than in NY.
Thanks for the comments. Sounds like it's a great place to be.
Do you know what products are traded at the Chicago office?
