In Reply To: I'm an undergrad.. I just graduated this past May and am looking for jobs in the financial industry. Specifically M&A, research or Portfolio management. I'm looking to more buy side of the business now but I guess at this stage, I can't be picky. Its been rough finding jobs without connections, but I'm hoping someone will hire me. Goldman is pretty tough to get in the door if you haven't graduated from a top ivy league or top tier school with a 4.0 gpa. Ha! I graduated from Syracuse, and have had an extensive work experience working with PWM firms, some of which are large and some small. I was just curious as to the work environment at Goldman thats all. Why did you leave PWM?
Message: Pregunta: So you knew people in PWM at GS? Or did professors help you out in your networking initiatives? I guess PWM is one of the more lax divisions at GS as opposed to Investment banking. Do you suggest I apply online to give it a shot? Or will it be impossible to get noticed that way? I know GS does its recruitment thru applications online. Any assistance or advice you can give me would be great! thanks so much
