Non-Target with S&T Offers but questions
I have 3 S&T SA offers I am strongly considering but have 3 questions to ask current people in the industry: 1) How often do you go out for dinner/drinks with clients as a junior person (analyst)? 2) How much of a problem is it if you are a vegetarian?

Aleynikov Arrested AGAIN; Fuld Remains At Large
Sheesh, Sergey Aleynikov can't catch a break. Most of you will remember him as the ex-Goldman programmer who swiped the firm's Doomsday Machine code before jumping ship to another firm.

When to follow with interviewer?

Anyone ever apply through the company's career page?
I don't really know if this topic has been brought up since most people here are networking for their positions, but I am just curious to know if anyone ever had success by just going to Goldman's career page and applying through their website. I know there are probably hundreds of applicants for...
Hired as Goldman MD?
I'm interviewing at Goldman. I'm at a mutual fund company, so we don't have the Analyst/Associate/VP/MD title structure. Our titles just describe your function, so things like Research Analyst, Trader, Portfolio Manager, etc. Does anyone who works at Goldman know how the firm would approach what...

Harvard Law VS Goldman Sachs
Fellow Monkeys, Bit of a hypothetical one here, but albeit a much more realistic hypothetical than the ones thrown around here. I am currently on board to work at GS this summer , which I am 100% gung-ho for, but I'm wondering about the longer-term job security within the industry, regulations,...

Lights are always on at Goldman
Anyone else notice this? No matter what time it is, the building is always lit up with lights. I've been in other BBs , and if the rooms are empty, the lights shut off after a certain amount of time. But GS lights up the skyline. Are people really working their THAT late, every single night...

Advice between FT offers: GS vs JPM vs Laz
I summered in a GS coverage group this summer (not FIG or TMT ) and did not like my experience (loved the work but didn't like my coverage industry and wasn't crazy about my intern class or the people in my group). I go to an ivy that is not Harvard or Wharton and is very common on the street. My...
Goldman Struggles
Is the king dead? Doth the emperor wear no clothes?

How many of GS's 12,000 VP/ED are in FO?
So after the whole greg smith thing, Blankfein said that there are about 12,000 VPs at Goldman. (http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-20120314-7107…) The number seems crazy to me considering a SA class ( IBD , Securities, IMD combined) shouldn't exceed 300 in the US (or 1000 worldwide). Considering...
