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.).

as i college student, this is a career i am interested in pursuing! if i may ask, what undergrad major follows behind it? i would think finance

@j158

Have you realized no one on the street know what they are talking about yet? Or are you one of them?

I left the street cuz 95% of the people there are really really stupid and have no idea what they are doing or talking about

@DopeNope8

They reject so many extremely talented applicants every year. I don’t see why they don’t hire two people and have them both work 40 hours instead of one who works 80.

The first 40 hours of work of the second best applicant is more productive than the last 40 hours of the best applicant as after the first 40 he starts to get diminishing returns due to how tired and overworked he is

@MinecraftSurge

Why does most of the broll have nothing to do with what you're talking about
