@OP: Your HR contact at GS would be a better source of advice than anyone here. From what I've seen, not too many auditors get into I-banking w/o an MBA or some other conduit. Not saying it's impossible, but it's definitely not the path most commonly traveled.

@OP: what are you doing for PwC? If you're in an advisory or specialty role (like FSR or TS), it may be possible; but generally analysts come from a different pool of candidates.

Yes. The question is doing what exactly?

We have someone in the group who interned there, and they said it was much tougher in terms of hours then PwC, and more corporate (less relaxed the PwC) culture. Like you cannot even text or browse the web - ever!

Investment Management Assurance.

Back office.

@PwC2 I'm currently an Asset Management Assurance Associate. I do know an HR person from Goldman Sachs, but that's it

I have an offer to do some consulting for a company based out of the UK (I am in the US). The job would not go through a consulting company but would be directly with the company.
