I respect backing your team and at that level, you can’t panic every time there’s noise & loyalty matters. But if I’m being honest, it’s hard not to notice the double standard at GS. Wall Street is quick to talk about accountability and governance until it’s their own execs in the hot seat. My take is that leadership is easy when things are smooth. It’s when it’s messy that we see what people really stand for. Am I being too cynical here, or does this feel a bit selective?

As someone who left GS. I promise you, the loyalty to one another (and to a wider extent the firm) only exists when talking to people looking from the outside in.

From within, its dog eat dog as it always has been.
