Hi!

I haven’t worked at Goldman myself, but I’ve picked up a lot through colleagues and friends who have.

From what they share, the brand and training are truly world-class – the name opens doors, and the early exposure to high-profile deals is hard to beat. At the same time, the reputation for intensity is real: the hours are long, and the culture can be very demanding.

So in that sense, Goldman definitely lives up to its “top BB” reputation. Whether it’s really the best, though, depends on what you personally value. Some people love to work in that environment, others find a better fit and balance at different firms.
