It was clear to me from the very beginning that Goldman Sachs was a special place. The people were top-notch – bright, hard-working and focused on both the success of the firm and its people. The effort expended on coaching, guiding and developing people is amazing. People were always willing to take time out of their busy days to provide information about a process or brainstorm about a problem. Also, I was struck by their interest in improving things and their open-mindedness and willingness to welcome new ideas.
The financial industry is an exciting and challenging industry in which to learn and to apply many different kinds of skills to solve business problems and improve processes. I think it’s a great industry to work in. Since it is always evolving and growing and offers so many different kinds of roles, the opportunities are limitless.
