Manhattan Strip Clubs: GUEST COMMENT: There are plenty of mediocre bankers at Golden Sacks

I’d like to make a confession: I once worked at Goldman Sachs. Does this make me a money grabbing, elitist, higher performer? I like to think not. It does, however, mean that I’m viewed with a degree of admiration by all the people who’d like to have worked there, but haven’t.
I have plenty of stories to tell – colleagues who were almost thrown out for trips to strip clubs, children of prominent politicians who were apparently shooed through the interview process for their connections. I learnt a lot and met some genuinely smart and driven people. I was also surprised to find that there are plenty of mediocre bankers at the firm– despite its policy of removing the bottom layer each year. Goldman breeds loyalty and big egos, by making people believe that it is a cut above the rest. I’ve noticed that even friends who have left GS are still wistful about their time at the firm.
