I was approached by Goldman. Can anyone offer insight into corporate culture, benefits, or anything else that might be a pro/con to working for them? I worked at JPM for a few years and tend to think it would be similar, but wanted to poll this group. Thanks in advance!

Depends on the group. Which group?

I was JPM in London and had a few mates that left to Goldman. Similar culture for sure in IB. I’ve heard Goldman less tolerant/more cutthroat. Presumably because they are all elites vs the consumer banking side of JPM etc

Worked at Goldman for a year. Extremely cutthroat culture and unhelpful managers.

I’m so jealous..😍

I used to work there. Culture varies by group/division/country (even city). What were you approached for?

I work there and think it’s great. It will be totally dependent on your division and team. Which group approached you?

Additional Posts in Consulting Exit Opportunities

Here is my idea for a startup! I collect all the data from career transitions and use Data Analytics to predict the most likely career transitions. I could start with consulting. What do you guys think about this? I would be able to predict based on your firm(mbb, big4), your experience, which role you are likely to move (Faang pm, strategy manager, move to mbb). I have all the data to do this, but wanted your thoughts. Would the output of this be relevant to you?
