Just got a paid internship at Goldman Sachs!

[The Big Skinny]

Where did you go to school if I may ask?

[BuGzBuNNy]

Congrats. What's your grades/gpa like?

[Nanners]

False. Production grows the economy. Finance is usually all about privileged something for nothing freeloading.

i wonder if goldman makes their interns sell their soul before they are offered a permanent job, or does that come after?

Unless you go to Dartmouth and or are a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, I find this hard to believe.

But regardless, congrats on a 70k/year intern job

How hard is it congratulate someone without being backhanded?

To:OP, I'm proud of you son.

How do I put it lightly...an african american with a child that happens to be a Lakers fan while growing up in New York isn't exactly the typical intern that the top investment firm in the world goes after

Sometimes the only way to secure one's future is to stop being a productive slave and instead with great effort manage to participate in privileged rent seeking. To a degree it's self preservation for some people, because you're either a privileged rent seeker or a productive slave in our economy.

Pretty Idiotic statement. I know like 3 dudes who currently work for goldman and didn't go to very prestigious universities or are apart of well know fraternities.

if they work in front office positions then they must have busted their butt, it's hard to get a good goldman gig without coming from a prestigious school. not all jobs at goldman are actually worth applying to

You have to be the biggest idiot on this forum, and a racist begot.

1) I am not African American, like it even matters.
2) I do have a child and I am married.
3) I worked since I was 11 years old. I am a motivated individual and aspired to becoming a CFA. Besides soccer, this is my passion.
4) I am was born and raised in AH, I moved to New York to get my master's degree from NYU. I took my undergrad in California, for your information.

Goldman's invest in people with character, ambition and passion. Clearly idiots like you would never fit in, so I am not surprised you would take a shot at me.

To the person who was wondering what my qualifications are. Academically I did very well in both my undergrad and master's, especially in finance. I did a lot of volunteer work, was a tutor, worked for a bank during my co-op term, member of a finance club, BGS inductee. Graduated from both programs with first-class standing as well.

I think what got me the gig was my well-rounded resume though. The fact that I had extra-curriculum activities, had work experience and did well at school (plus having a master's degree)...

Like I said, I am still in shock and consider myself very fortunate.
Hopeful I can impress and get a full-time gig.

this dude here

[DFish]

This guy's full of shit. "Bank investor?" And there's no area of finance called M&E. He probably meant to lie about mergers and acquisitions (M&A). Also, I'm fairly certain GS doesn't recruit interns in November. Should've waited until spring to make this thread.

I did lol at this part though.
