Upon graduation from college, I did not consider a career at Goldman Sachs or any other investment bank. I did not want to be a trader or investment banker, and I thought those were the only opportunities available for a competitive, fulfilling career. Fortunately, through my relationships with individuals who joined Goldman Sachs, I learned that there were many great opportunities for people with diverse skills, interests and career goals.

One thing I don’t think people realize is that a career at Goldman Sachs, particularly in Operations but in other areas of the firm as well, is a great option for people from all backgrounds. While we are a financial institution, this is not a place for finance majors only. I work with many Engineering, Psychology, Mathematics and English majors, to name a few. This diversity in backgrounds and experience helps us to approach issues, ideas and opportunities from all perspectives and to make the best decisions for our clients and the firm. Goldman Sachs hires smart motivated people who are willing to dig in, learn and contribute to creating value for our clients and making this a great place to work.
