I use to work in GS Risk Markets and now work for McKinsey. GS Risk Markets is not actually IBD but rather a "JV" between IBD and FICC. In any event, structuring catastrophe bonds is not a great career-builder (even with the GS name).
IMHO, the prestige of GS really resided in the IBD/M&A work. If you work in one of these groups, it will really open doors for you. Other groups within Goldman are less attractive in this regard. |

If you go to this group you will get up close and personal with the insurance/actury world. Is this something you are really interested in? Otherwise go to McK. Better overall exposure.
