GS Financing Groups LDN

Was wondering if anyone could provide insight into the different Financing groups at GS? (Mainly LDN, but happy to hear other too)

Input around culture, hours, comp, exposure and reputation in the City/on the Street would be great

 

A pleasure. Take this with a grain of salt as it's an outsider's perspective:

GS seems kinda sweaty across all groups but what I gathered is that the financing group is a bit more chill. Of course, there are times when certain markets go crazy and then you definitely have M&A hours.

Do you have an offer there? Only someone in that group can tell you how it really is tbh

 

Congrats! Can you please describe your interview process? Was it for FT or SA? I might have interview coming for this division soon so very interested

 

Hey was wondering what your nationality and your profile was? When is your interview too - i assume its for IB SA LDN?
