I initially learned about the firm’s summer internship opportunities during my sophomore year in college through a recruiting event on campus. I applied through Goldman Sachs’ Scholarship for Excellence process and, after about a dozen interviews, was awarded the scholarship and given an offer to join Private Wealth Management (PWM).
After spending a summer in PWM, I expressed interest to my recruiter in joining Goldman Sachs Asset Management (GSAM), specifically the institutional marketing team. I had met with members of the team during my PWM summer and was very interested in what they did. When I was on campus my junior year, I was asked to return the following summer to intern with the institutional marketing team. The rest is history! I was offered a full-time position and accepted it on the spot. I did not interview anywhere else.
When I started at the firm, I was immediately impressed by the work ethic of all those around me. The people at Goldman Sachs are truly committed to achieving excellence in all that they do and their passion to over-deliver and exceed expectations becomes contagious. Furthermore, the collaborative environment fosters strong relationships among individuals and teams, and as a result, creates a truly unique culture. I was particularly amazed by the willingness of individuals to provide advice and offer insight into their respective businesses.
