A Day in the life of an Investment Banking Intern at Goldman Sachs in the San Francisco office. Some of you have asked, so here’s a day in the life as an investment banking summer analyst at Goldman Sachs. It’s been many moons and the hours are slightly better now, but directionally everything is pretty much the same (presentations, models, long hours, etc.).

Goldman Sachs are the Hotshots of the financial world

@VARADBEDEKAR-s5w

This guy has a real busy day…. All B roles he used in the video are not self-shot, loved the video

@georgecazac3543

Jesus man… That is a sad life… 😢. Our time on this planet is so limited that it simply isn't worth it… A bit more modest life but with exponential more free time in my opinion is better.

Many black brothers in banking! Nice!
