SA 2026 FICC & EQUITIES, MANAGEMENT AND RISK

Hey guys, here's just a little bit about my background. I just got an offer from GS for the above position, and they gave me 2 weeks to answer. Regardless of the offer, I have some questions to ask:

  1. Should I use this offer to accelerate the another process that I am involved in for SA 2026?
  2. What are the exit opportunities for this? I am thinking about transitioning to a hedge fund after 2 years, but I may be wrong, though.

Thanks everyone!

Definitely try and leverage for another offer if the end goal is HF. Not sure how internal mobility is at GS, but this is a middle office position and it’ll take some work to transition to a FO S&T seat
