CEO's office

I just wanted to know as an analyst, do you ever get the chance to go the CEO's office? I know the answer to this is no most of the times, but I believe in some places like GE, if you are in the FMP program, you get the opportunity to do this. Also are offices for CEOs located in the top floors?

 

I've sat in the chairman's chair in the board room of HSBC HQ in London. Does that count? Also, if you're over at the CEO's for dinner, does his leather reading chair count?

You sometimes do if you are part of the Firm Strategy and Execution team (see MS).

The top floor is usually reserved for the most festooned meeting and luncheon rooms.

As far as I can remember, Lloyd's office is on the 30th floor, John's is on the 40th, Dick's is on the 31st, Jamie’s is on the 8th, and James had a nice place on the 6th where he even got to smoke his beloved Montecristos unperturbed. Make of that what you will.

The most impressive top floor, in my opinion, is Lehman's in Canary Wharf in London, although Goldman's reception on the 68th floor in HK is certainly over the top when it comes to decoration, not to mention the thickness of the carpet. Great view, though. Pity about the smog.
