I was offered a job at gs in 2008 and they got pissed when I did not accept on the spot. HR told me people dont ask for more time to think it over. I was like fuk it, I decline

applied few times when I was in school for summer internships/entry level jobs but never got a call from them. I think you need luck/contacts to get an interview there.

I worked there, in australia. I worked in a pretty much back office role. It sucked. It was in PWM, I guess it was a majority unhappy workplace PWM, many many many advisers left. Dont know about the other departments, they were probably a lot better. Everyone thought they had a big wang because they worked there, even in my team.

Is this a new species of flying buzzing insects? The proper reference in my country is “Newbie”

so we all hate GS but would drop everything in the world the moment they made us an offer. goldenboy is so full of it.

I worked at GS in the front office. The hours sucked. Requires heavier dose of hard-work than smarts. Total team effort across all levels and regions, very quick turnarounds on questions for peers, clients. - You may think the FO are the ‘masters of the universe’, but the truth is they get their ass kicked the hardest and take the most abuse from clients and senior management. Even the insults and prejudice the FO hurls at the middle/back office pales in comparison. - Within the office, employees show unspoken pride and camaraderie. To outside friends and competitors, they all act like loud BSDs. (Even OPS and IT act like BSD) - Obviously, there are great exit opportunities (for when you finally realize your clients are making 10Xs your salary). You write your own ticket if you have a good story to tell.

If you have to refer to your job as “front office” then chances are it’s not a front office job.

Why is he full of it? Not all of us drool over GS. I was approached by their recruiter to apply for an equity research gig and passed it up.

If I see one more thread about “front office”, “GS” and “IB” I’m going to…
