Goldman Interns Don’t Want Money, Eager To Work Forever
https://news.efinancialcareers.com/uk-en/3004443/…
“Cynics might suggest the Goldman interns' enthusiasm for perpetual work comes from an anticipation that they won't be able to afford to retire (Goldman's interns put money at the bottom of a long list of other priorities, including advancement opportunities, colleagues and purpose). In fact, it seems to be because they're so completely passionate about working.”
“In a conversation with Bentley de Beyer, Goldman's global head of Human Capital Management, three interns shared their reasons for wanting to work into old age. "When you have work you truly enjoy it becomes part of your identity and you want to work for as long as you can," suggested one. "When you follow your passion in life, you will live longer," suggested another. And, "If you feel passionate about what you're doing, why would you stop what you're doing to retire?" asked the third.”
I don’t quite know how to take this😂 or which sadistic group of interns they polled. Can anyone shed some light on this?

I think this is a little bit of a misguided way to represent this information. When many of these interns hit retirement age, people may not be retiring at all anymore. But on another note, at the more senior levels of IB it seems like the VPs/MDs generally enjoy the client relationships and the travel/events that come with those clients. Obviously these interns will eventually either move out of IB or move into less excel/PowerPoint task roles and into relationship management roles.
Ummmmmm they're interns...they haven't even set foot on the job yet. This is cute and all but it sounds like these kids still have their heads pretty far up their own asses.

LOL...these are the dumbest most generic quotes I've ever heard and all the better hearing from Seniors in college how awesome working is.
