Goldman normally pays way more than that. Like 600-700k/yr/person in good times like 2006.
dumb statistic dude, stop wasting our time
what about ESO at Goldman?
doesn't mean that much. these differences change between banks all the time
Maybe GS hired a bunch of assistants?
Goldman usually pays less anyway... they're really cheap about housing stipends for interns, sign-on bonuses and such. People even came up with a euphemism for it -- "Goldman Discount"
