I came to Goldman Sachs through campus recruiting at Oxford University. Like other business school graduates at the time, I was interviewing with the usual suspects in consultancy firms and investment banks. Goldman Sachs was my first investment banking interview. After my interviews at Goldman Sachs, I hoped that I would get an offer because the interview process felt so much “more me” than my consultancy interviews had. Fortunately for me, I did get an offer and I did not proceed further with any of my other interviews.

My impression of the first few days here was incredibly positive but somewhat intimidating too. I was surrounded by all these incredibly smart, motivated, high-energy people who were willing to go out of their way to help me settle in and feel comfortable. I also remember feeling somewhat useless for the first few days because everyone seemed to have a purpose, while I was still waiting to be staffed. At that point, people would stop by, introduce themselves and tell me to enjoy it while it lasted – boy, were they right!
