Why on earth would anyone want to work for Goldman Sachs

<p>Why? I just don't get it.</p>

<p>Cash Rules Everything Around Me (C.R.E.A.M) get the money, dolla dolla bill y’all!</p>

<p>Money, obviously. Cha-ching.</p>

<p>They are good at what they do, even though we often don’t know exactly what they’re up to. They paid back their tarp funds very quickly and are making more money than the average firm in the industry.</p>

<p>When you’ve got a company full of the top students from top schools around the country that compensates you very well and looks good on your resume, jobs there are going to be in high demand.</p>

<p>Although they have a bad reputation, they do do some other types of calculations (i.e. alot of statistics on say India’s economic growth and poverty development would come from the guys down at GS).
They do do good things, and overall its not a bad place to work. besides, dont we all need some gov’t help now and then? and lie on tax forms?</p>

<p>Yea that’s it - top analysts… That why they have to cheat, restructure their company, lie and steal to stay ahead. Only the best.</p>

<p>^Jealous that you can’t work for them?</p>

<p>That’s right. I’m tired of being able to look myself in the mirror. Integrity is for loosers. Give me Goldman Sachs.</p>

<p>Sounds like a yes.</p>

<p>LOL jrt336 <em>applause</em></p>

<p>Agree with Tortfeasor 100%.</p>

<p>I would choose integrity/respect over greed/fraud anyday.</p>

<p>I wouldn’t turn down a job with GS, but I can imagine a lot of people could do without the stress and 80 hour work weeks…</p>

<p>That’s taking a very short term look at the company. A lot of people respect it for its history.</p>

<p>a lot of people smoke cigarettes too.</p>

<p>^Are they EVIL too?</p>

<p>^ No. Ignorant, misguided, weak, or all three. That’s not the point. Don’t worry about it.</p>

<p>Tortfeasor, your classification of an entire organization as “evil” shows that you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. You are misinformed and ignorant, just another person on main street calling for blood without understanding the situation. Go back to reading your Yahoo news.</p>

<p>I detect elitism. </p>

<p>Lol @ calling someone “just another person on main street”</p>

<p>I wouldn’t mind main street getting a little blood out of Goldman Sachs. As a group they give more than enough money to the Democrats, even the ones that would gladly crucify them if given the chance. Of course some are good enough to remain bought when they are paid for(Chuck Schumer, Chris Dodd)…but the rest? Not so much. </p>

<p>Reap the whirlwind, gents. You guys wanted Obama to run my health care, I want him to run your bank and determine your bonuses. </p>

<p>[Goldman</a> Sachs: Summary | OpenSecrets](<a href=“http://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/summary.php?id=d000000085]Goldman”>http://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/summary.php?id=d000000085)</p>

<p>jonah, what do you mean by “you guys wanted Obama to run my health care, I want him to run your bank and determine your bonuses”.</p>

<p>that makes just as much sense as
-“you guys wanted Obama to reduce nuclear stockpiles with Russia, I want him to …”
-“you guys wanted Obama to xyz law, I want him to …”</p>

<p>You must either be at the top of Goldman or the White House to “know” that Goldman elected Obama to reform America’s health care. haha.</p>

<p>If Obama regulates finance bonuses, he should probably regulate your salary as well because without the banks your company would not have had the money (from loans or from consumer spending) to be where it is now, and you would not be paid as well now or in the future (in case you’re in college).</p>

<p>Do you understand that the financial crisis is brought by the average American living beyond their means? Maybe you should look at yourself, your neighbors, etc before you point at someone thousands of miles away (especially if you have absolutely no idea what they do, and you only get your news from Yahoo news, ABC/NBC, etc).</p>
