<p>I'm aware that Goldman Sachs is very reputable financial company. Can anybody tell me to the extent on how competitive it is to be employed in terms of gpa requirement and credentials. If anyone is actually working in GS that can tell me a little bit about the company, that would be great.</p>
<p>What specifically about GS attracts you?</p>
<p>I’m interested in trading and principle investments which is a large sector in GS</p>
<p>You’ll need to have a strong penchant for defrauding ordinary investors and the American taxpayer. Think you can do that?</p>
<p>How about just answer my question, if not, don’t post at all?</p>
<ol>
<li><p>You need to attend a target school. Those are Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell, MIT, Dartmouth, Columbia, Penn, Duke, Georgetown, NYU, Northwestern, Michigan, Texas, Stanford, Berkeley</p></li>
<li><p>You need a very good GPA (3.5+, but 3.7+ is better). Major isn’t so important - business or econ is fine.</p></li>
<li><p>You need to network with recruiters effectively.</p></li>
<li><p>You need to demonstrate stamina while in school. Basically, they need to see that you can work 100+ hours per week every week. You need to build your resume to show this (work multiple jobs while double majoring, etc.)</p></li>
</ol>
<p>If you don’t go to a target school, you’re very, very limited.</p>
<p>^Sligh is a person with a particular common media fed agenda who doesn’t really know what he/she is talking about.</p>
<p>Getting an internship/job at Goldman is very difficult. My D1 interned a few summers ago back office and is now a front office worker, habing interned, at an equally difficult job to get at a BB.</p>
<p>It’s very competitive to get the internship and then job.</p>
<p>To get the internship you must have a very high gpa (3.5 05 higher)and have a great interview.</p>
<p>^pretty much…you’ll also need relevant work experience. It’s rare that your first ever job will be at a BB firm, usually kids will intern at smaller firms to gain experience then move to a firm like GS afterwards</p>
<p>I’d agree, morrissmm. I don’t know what I am talking about. In other news,</p>

<p>Goldman Sachs is not a reputable company. To pretend otherwise is outright delusional.</p>
<p>I couldn’t in good conscience work for Goldman Sachs considering their corrupt partnership with the federal government, but they are certainly competitive and well-known.</p>
<p>the way I see, it, its the senior bankers with the seven figure salary that are being greedy, immoral SOBs, not the 22 yr old analysts</p>
<p>LOL, 98% of the 22 year old analysts working at GS want to be those senior bankers with (six figure, not seven) salaries (and huge bonuses that may push their earnings over 7 figures), and they one day will become greedy, immoral SOB’s (if they aren’t already).</p>

<p>OminousRun- lol true, but lets wait until they actually do it before condemning them. You never know, they could change their mind and organize a charity (I’m sure the networks from banking will come in handy lol).</p>
