<p>So which area (Finance vs. Operations) do you guys provide better opportunities coming out of the Analyst Programs?</p>
<p>Finance (10 char)</p>
<p>I worked with people in operations in my internship this past summer, and it kinda sucks. Although, there are many facets to operations, but those where the feelings I got from people.</p>
<p>I had some intern friends in operations and they seemed to feel it was kind of a dead end thing. I dont know anything myself, but my intern friends haven’t been to happy with it.</p>
<p>thanks guys that was the feeling I was getting as well…</p>
<p>can any of you explain a little bit why operations seem not be good?</p>
<p>One person I worked with put Operations as managing “an assembly line within a bank”… It just seems to be very repetitive and mundane, with no real challenges unless there is a new system being implemented.</p>
<p>It’s also not a revenue generating role, which I think is always tough. Most people probably dont want to be viewed as “support staff” like operations folks often are.</p>
<p>I was a Civil Engineering student and did the Goldman Salt Lake Ops intern last summer. I wrote a review of my experience with the internship.

<p>I hope this helps you all get a good feel for what the internship was like.</p>
