Leaving citi for GS. Question, what are some perks working for Goldman Sachs? I know the hours are long. But I also know they’re paying me a lot more and they’re a more premier firm than Citi. What are some actual great things of working for GS? Just trying to see all of the positives rather than all the negatives people love to always share.

What will you be doing at GS? The firm’s back office roles are not glorious. You won’t have materially better exit options leaving from one than at Citi.

Not sure why higher pay and working for a more premier firm wouldn't be enough great things on their own. Ignore the haters, as they say, and focus on making the right move for you. In this case, it sounds like GS is in your best interest.

You are right about the hours. I don't know what your job will be so I can't say what will be different. I have never worked for City.

Expect to work long hours.
Expect great pay.
Expect to be paid based on your performance.
Except for (some people) to be impressed that you work for a more selective company than Harvard.
Except to work hard & smart.
Except not to be told a good job just for doing your job.

As was said, there is not a lot of glory working in the back office.

Smart people, interesting people, interesting work with decent (not great) pay. Just get ready for the hours

Never worked for GS but I’d assume the exit opportunities are much much better if you end up wanting to leave and the networking opportunities as well.

100% the exit opps from GS are pretty amazing, I've seen people do some cool stuff. I think that's the main appeal...but Citi is probs better for overall growth within the company
