I interned with goldman in their 200 west office in lower Manhattan years ago. They pay, and paid well (still less than proper tech companies), and while no one I knew returned full time, the experience, prestige, and network of other young ambitious college peers was really one of those opportunities I look back on and acknowledge as one of my “luck” moments to get me to where I am today.
Granted, with my age I can proudly say, fuck the entire institution that is GS.
I'm interested to know why you didn't go back. Reading OPs article there are a lot of red flags that stand out to me today, but if I was young and fresh out of college, I'd probably be happy to take a job there.
