How would you rank the different Divisions at GS?
I am thinking of applying to the Goldman Sachs New Graduate Program for final year students. I have read up on all the major divisions (Controller, Corporate Treasury, Finance, Global Compliance, Global Investment Research, Global Markets, Investment Banking, Merchant Banking, Risk). Does anyone with knowledge of the divisions have any recommendations on the top tier divisions to work in? Anything like a top 3/Bottom 3, tier list, or ranking. I am hoping to glean some insight from you guys before I make a big decision. Thank you.
This is my first post, I am sorry if this is formatted incorrectly.
it really depends on what you want to be honest. if you’re like everyone else of WSO, the ranking would be the following:
within Securities (like SGG, PFI etc.) and GSAM there are top tier investing groups that are great/more prestige but again depends on what you want to do
Thank you so much, it means a lot. Do you know which divisions would be most applicable to someone who had a corporate banking/GTS internship? I have read that IBD is near impossible to transition to from CB/GTS, do you know which of the above would be possible to transition to?
so CB/GTS is more in like the big all service banks like Citi and JPM - within GS, this function used to be in the Finance Group (maybe still is?) but it sits on the 7th floor with the IBD capital markets teams. it may now actually be a part of cap markets I’m not sure. it’s a tough transition if you’re already doing corporate banking/relationship lending internally, but if you have that prior experience, that shouldn’t be a detractor from you getting into IBD to do classic M&A etc. after all, isn’t a graduate rotational program supposed to give you exposure to multiple groups?
Thank you! I will make sure and prepare for the IB interviews. It is a huge weight of my chest that CB/GTS won't be a detractor.
yeah man. no reason not to apply for it. it’s been a while since I interned but I had zero relevant finance experience before applying!
