I came to Goldman Sachs through a recruiting agency. I was working for a public accounting firm and wanted my next career move to be with a reputable securities firm. I was not sure which one until I spoke with Goldman Sachs. After going through several rounds of interviews and being given the opportunity to speak with various professionals at the firm, I knew this was where I wanted to be. It was the people that impressed me the most. I could see how approachable everyone is and the teamwork spirit.
I came to Japan to join the firm which meant there were many things I needed to learn in my first few months, not just about Goldman Sachs but about the industry in Japan. Everyone in the Tokyo office was so helpful in answering the many questions that I had and in showing me how to navigate around the firm. Whether it is through knowledge sharing sessions or team meetings, people really do share information here.
