SENTIMENT CHECK:

My friend went through their
Goldman Sachs Superday for a VP title. She just learned she got turned down.

She now wants to apply the Associate level opening in the same group as the VP title. Figures that she wants to work in this specific group and earn recognition & a promotion through her work.

Is this a bad idea? Why / Why not?

Has anyone done what she wants to do?

TYIA!

PS still waiting on my own GS Superday outcome

Absolutely nothing wrong with this other than she will likely be under paid once she gets to VP role. But once you get there your skills are relatively transferable at most of the bigger firms and you become much more important for the team to hold on to. Not only that, the sense of accomplishment is also very gratifying.
