Bad Experience Working with Goldman
Like most of the young kids on this website, I used to think GS was the best bank on the Street, the absolute pinnacle of finance. Sure, any BB was good, but GS is really where you wanted to be. And not much has changed that perception for graduates today. However, as someone who has worked on the...

What do people know about Goldman Sachs Dallas office FICC and Equities Global Markets division? If there are any front office roles, (ie. "true" S&T) then what product coverage does GS Dallas run?

Is Goldman Sachs Still a Bulge Bracket?
Serious question… is Goldman Sachs still considered a bulge bracket? Obviously firms have to lay some people off, but I’m not even sure that Deutsche Bank has seen things this bad. Also, they have this weird bald guy running the firm who’s a DJ and more focused on being “cool” to teenagers...

The ol' EB vs BB debate
I'm weighing two summer associate offers, one from Evercore (generalist M&A) and one from GS/JPM (industry coverage). I have seen this question debated at nauseam on this forum, but mostly from an Analyst gig / strength of PE exits perspective. Wondering if people can weigh in with advice geared...

Investment Banking Recruiting is a Flawed Model
Ignore my title - worked in IB as an analyst before lateralling out to CRE. Hear me out first. Why do investment banks emphasize recruiting 21 year olds right out of college for analyst roles instead of sourcing talent from big 4/other financial firms that have talent trying to break in? When I was...
