Hi, I’m new to fishbowl but would rlly love some help. I have 2 offers: with GS in SLC and with McKinsey in NYC. Loved summer internship with gs in GSAM but location and low salary made me pause. Already said yes to contact. Do you think it’s worth harming relationship and going to McK?

You have to take McK over Goldman SLC. If it were Goldman nyc I’d understand but you probably have a better shot at a desirable role at Goldman from the role at McKinsey than a back office role in SLC

I was at McKinsey for 3 years and recently moved over to the buy side at a PE firm. Happy to talk through my experience there. What team is in SLC? I don’t know of any IBD teams there?

Skip SLC. It’s all back office. If you have designs in being in capital markets or IB you don’t want to start in the Back office. And in SLC no less

Yeah McK is the way to go if you value career progression over lifestyle. You’re already getting a FO role in NYC, that’s worth a lot

I did it. Took a job for GS out in SLC. 100% worth it. Worth the grind and will be worth it in the long run. I start the job this coming week. Feel free to DM me if anyone wants to talk shop

I was at GS for 2+yrs, there are 0 FO positions in SLC, there are all support functions. Get an accurate job description and you will notice....

Even I would recommend going with the Mc.
