A Day in the life of an Investment Banking Intern at Goldman Sachs in the San Francisco office. Some of you have asked, so here's a day in the life as an investment banking summer analyst at Goldman Sachs. It's been many moons and the hours are slightly better now, but directionally everything is pretty much the same (presentations, models, long hours, etc.).
If you're interested in learning the exact playbook I used to get a job at Goldman Sachs, check out The Investment Banking Bootcamp. Cohort 1 Enrollment Closed.
Cohort 2 begins in January. Join the waitlist to be the first to be notified.
