Do you want to get into Goldman Sachs?

Hi all… I found this article on getting into Goldman Sachs. By the way, my professional specialization is management consulting for the financial services industry….so my life’s not only about slimming down and making money online…hahah and…I hope that makes me less bimbo-ish? haha Anyway, for those who are fascinated about Goldman Sachs as “The Firm” to get into…the article below may prove useful to you :) ==================================================== Want to land a job at ‘The Firm’? Here’s how, by those who’ve done it before. 1) Interview again and again (and again) Most front-office banking jobs involve a handful of interviews. Jobs at Goldman involve a dumper-truck full.

Here are five frugal habits that many of the upper class have adopted to build long-lasting wealth and financial independence: Drive a modest car.   Your car should only serve the purpose of getting you safely and comfortably from point A to point B--nothing more. When you pull up to a stoplight in an expensive car, you might impress a stranger. However, don't let the price tag of your car define your character or image, because at the end of the day most people could care less what type of car you drive.
