Hey all! I’m a first year consultant at a Big 4 in business process integrity (internal audit/assurance). I applied to an early careers position in Goldman Sachs because I felt as though the qualifications aligned to my experiences (product/project management). I was curious if anyone knew where I could get a referral if possible. Thanks!
