On a daily basis I work to report the previous day’s P&L. I have to check to see if there are any booking issues and must ensure that all the valuation is done correctly. As far as weekly and monthly assignments, I sign off on periodical P&L, work on price verification comparing our prices to market indicators and make commentaries for periodical P&L based on market movement. My work requires that I am constantly multi-tasking, especially the week after the month-end when we have a heavy workload.

In order to complete all of my tasks I often need to contact different people throughout the firm. I am also constantly communicating with my team members each day. We always support each other if someone needs help meeting a certain deadline or if issues arise. It is important that we are all flexible.

Finally, I make sure I learn about the different system flows and products. Since efficiency is crucial, I have to set priorities on what I need to concentrate on learning and determine the best way for me to acquire that new information, whether it’s by asking questions of those who specialize in a certain area or obtaining the proper course materials provided by Goldman Sachs University.
