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.
