Summer Analyst
June - August 2023 • Salt Lake City, UT
What I liked
I loved the focus on us as individuals and how much our individuality and what makes us unique adds to the culture of the company. There was a strong focus on networking within the firm and creating our personal brand. I felt supported and heard every day and my motivation went to the roof with so much support and initiatives.
What I wish was different
My experience is one of those that you can call: " A perfect experience"
Advice
Be knowledge hungry. Companies like Goldman Sachs value your interest in learning and how you deal with situations where you do not master the subject. Take your time and be patient with yourself, don't compare yourself as much and do your best. Be positive and become "the one" people go ask for help.

Have as many coffee-chats as you can at any job experience. Learn more about the people you work with even if they don't work directly on your team.

Internal Audit Intern
June - August 2023 • New York City, NY
What I liked
I loved the in-depth training that was provided at the beginning of the internship. That was crucial as I got to the floor and was given real world tasks. You truly see the how each function aligns with Goldman Sachs client services.
What I wish was different
I wished that I could have been able to develop deeper relationships with teams across the floor. Considering that interns had to go in 5 days a week and full-time employees were in office for 2-3 days a week, it would have been better to manage such relationships if it were 5 days across the floor.
Advice
Network as much as you can within the division you are in and outside areas you are interested in! I was able to connect with employees in Financial Planning & Analysis, Asset & Wealth Management and Controllers as I continuously looked to meet a new person every 2 days.
