After graduating from college or university, new analysts are hired directly into equity, credit, economics, commodities or strategy research teams, providing them with the opportunity to specialize in that area of research. 

Training

New analysts attend a training program that introduces them to Goldman Sachs and provides insight into the role of the Global Investment Research team and how its members interact with other groups within the firm.

  • Focused training sessions cover such technical skills as advanced accounting, valuation and financial modeling
  • Since graduates join from a variety of degree disciplines, we provide financial accounting training to those without a financial background
  • Other sessions cover writing skills and include presentations from our most senior analysts
  • Team building and social events also play an important part in getting to know different teams and other members of the Global Investment Research team

Post Training

Once they have completed their training, new analysts join industry teams, where they work closely with and receive on-the-job training from senior analysts, associates and other team members. Daily work activities depend on the area and may include analyzing companies, running models, synthesizing data and interacting with the sales force, clients and companies. Analysts have a high level of responsibility and visibility at a junior level in both idea generation and marketing.
