Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
We had the opportunity to learn a great deal of information through specific training days in the investment banking sector as a whole, as well as into the global markets division. We also visited various desks in the division to gain greater insight, and also received a group assignment.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was really eye-opening learning that within just one division there are so many different roles that altogether work to help the bank keep running. It was emphasised that there really is a role for every person.

What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Goldman Sachs Group
Make sure you’re asking lots of questions and also come prepared to every single session. Be prepared to work hard, and put in the effort, and don’t be scared to just say if you don’t know something. Also, do not view your other spring interns as your competitors for getting converted, see them as your teammates and just focus on being the best version of yourself to get converted.
