Could anyone tell me what’s it like to work for Goldman Sachs? How’s the work life culture in Operations such as asset management, market making, wealth management etc? Is there anything that puts Goldman Sachs better than it’s competitors?

Operations - not worth it

likefunny

Oh okay, thanks!

I have a friend and a sister that worked there. They overwork their people and it’s typically a minimum of 60 hours a week of work. However, having that company on their resume definitely helped them with better opportunities.

Of course!

I have verbally told recruiters no to operations. Don’t touch anything Ops/Ayco/PFMG/PWM roles at all costs. Salaries are like 55k-75k and overworked

Thank you! That’s helpful

So my sister in law works there, and for FO it’s worth it, high pay and long hours but if your 30 and under that’s what you want to establish yourself and have a bullet proof cv for later so you can relax a bit.

For operations…. Yeah it isn’t worth it, the pay isn’t ideal for the hours your expected to put in. The environment is highly pressured and promotions can be capped if you are deemed to young for a role (I.e. director before 30 in some positions - apparently that’s deemed inappropriate in some instances - this I don’t understand)

A positive is that your c.v. would become golden edged/bullet proof (as long as you leave and don’t get fired) and higher positions and more money upon leaving becomes easier (so good with the bad)

Thank you so much! That was helpful

Hi fishes,

I received an offer from big 4 with 60% hike. My managers wants to retain and I asked them to match if you want me to be retained.
Now I got a call from GPM yesterday. He used harsh words like "being greedy" "selfish" etc and offered me 30% in the end.
I politely declined but he asked me to reconsider as he said "it would be unfair for the org for you to leave so soon."

Let me know a proper response.

Also what do you think of this behavior by GPM?
