Someone told me that it has to do with stock compensation. Something along the lines of, if you start working for the government you can vest shares more quickly or maybe there are tax benefits. This is secondhand information so not sure if it’s completely accurate.
Think that may be in reference to when Gary Cohn left GS. He had tens of millions in stock awards that were to be tied up for a few years after he left, but GS accelerated his payout in order to sever ties from a gov't employee. Assume the same applied to others as well.

The reputation of people who work there is my guess
Tax benefits

Because GS is known to always uphold the spirit and intent of the law as well as having the common good in mind. Educate yourself, man.

It may have something to do with the "early life" of many of those bankers, but that´s just a guess. Probably a cohencidence.
