An article in American Bankers (http://www.americanbanker.com/issues/178_239/are-banks-ready-for-quantu…) states that Goldman Sachs invests in building the Quantum Computer.

Getting a job through family connection?
I wanted to know if having a family connection at a top bank will increase my chances of getting hired as an analyst next year. A family connection is an MD at Goldman Sachs.

What are Superstars For?

Lord Vader Takes Silicon Valley
If I didn't know better, I'd say Bloomberg's Stephanie Ruhle doesn't like Lloyd Blankfein. While the interview doesn't rise to the level of hilarity that her Q&A with David Tepper did, she does manage to get in some cheap shots on the Sith Lord. Examples: "How bad did it suck to lose the Facebook...

Blankfein: Killing It Is the New Killing It
I'm betting it was a banner weekend in the Blankfein household. On Friday the Goldman Sachs CEO was awarded a $13.3 million stock bonus for 2012 , the biggest bonus he's seen since the crisis started in 2008. His all-in comp for the year looks to eclipse the $21 million mark. It wasn't just a good...
