For those that don't know.....Goldman Sachs has been widely considered the top investment banking, trading, and research firm for the last 40 years. Everybody and their dog wants in, heck i've applied and they probably just threw my resume in the trash. You basically won't get into a finance role whether inv banking, a research analyst, stock trader or broker or other sales role unless you have an Ivy League degree (haavaaad, yale, etc) .

Yea im sorry to tell you but these are superficial standards for judging an employee, and i wouldn't be surprised if it was all show, and a little bit of the old boys club.

The reality is they fucked up just everyone else in 2008.

ok, but realize that being a member of a top-tier company, and a member of "the old boys club" where I'm guessing that you are saying that one guy helps the other, aren't mutually exlusive at all.  In fact, sell-side research, which is probably where this came from, is always overwhelmingly optimistic because the brokers and institutional salespeople use this research to sell more stocks which wouldnt happen if an analyst said that they had deep reservations ab out natal.  So, we aren't really disagreeing at all.
