When I was beginning my sophomore year at college and had absolutely no idea what I wanted to do after graduating. While I certainly did not have Goldman Sachs in mind per se, I have always known what type of environment I wanted to work in – one that offered a team-based work style, a healthy work-life balance, and openness to learning and questions, and a place that was above all else a meritocracy.
I was the kind of kid who, in high school, always raised my hand, always asked questions. It wasn’t appreciated at the time, but I feel that it’s appreciated here.
Advice I’d offer to anyone seeking a career in finance? Never stop asking questions, never settle.
