Hello,
I have been invited for superday at Goldman Sachs for the MBD Principle Investment Area. However, since my knowledge of this position is fairly limitied, I would like to receive some advice and insights from you guys.
How does the PIA - PE of GS compare to GS IBD in terms of prestige, salary, hours and any other relevant aspect?
Thanks in advance!

More prestigious... is this REPIA? They are the only team I think that takes analysts straight out of undergrad.
No, it's PIA. However, in London.
Oh, 100% better than IBD
Agreed, know two guys there who joined as analysts and intend to stay a lot longer (now ~2nd year analyst and ~2nd year associate)
Thanks!
What about the exit options, are they good?
as good as any MF PE. I'd argue GS MBD is much better than some of the MFs

Hi Safi, any of these threads helpful:
More suggestions...
If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...
GS PIA or GS IBD SA? (Originally Posted: 02/09/2010)
wondering what would people choose between GS PIA and GS IBD for summer analyst stint in London?
Looking for exit to China/HK or B school
I believe this was already discussed in one of your other threads.
