Goldman Sachs (GS) Moving The Youngsters Back (GS)

|

goldmansendsfirstyearstobackoffice.npg.jpgA week after Goldman Sachs cut a bloody swath through its offices, laying off 3,000, it is rife with rumors that it will be moving first year investment bankers to back-office operations such as credit, treasury, compliance and control. Normally, back-officing investment bankers is a sure way to guarantee defections. But in this market, where are they going to go?

If this comes about, Goldman will have the smartest back office on the Street.

(No attempt was made to confirm this story with Goldman Sachs. They'd just try to sweet talk us out of printing it, and we're already sweet enough.)

That is not good news for IB's future. If GS is giving this impression to IB first year analysts that's a strong indication of the bleak future ahead for IB in general. Not that this was not already apparent in some way, but this is a more sure sign of it.

This really is BS, mostly because the rest of us who didn't go to the toolish ivy league schools got screwed over by GS despite having interned in Ops during the summer and didn't get offers a month ago.

Now we find out they gave them all away to pretentious ivy leaguers who didn't even want the jobs in the first place?

How long are we going to be told that some princeton kid is better than we are?

The funny thing is, Goldman always asks people during interviews "why do you want to work in Operations?" because they don't want us peasants dare want to work in the front office, but how many of these clowns even bother to think about operations when they were majoring in Pottery during their days at Yale?
