Would you leave Barclays for Goldman Sachs if the latter offered a slightly higher salary? YOE: 10 months Base: $110k Current role at Barclays: Developer Analyst Role at Goldman Sachs: Full-Stack/Back-End - Software Engineer - Associate To clarify: I haven’t gotten the offer yet. I’m still in the interview process. #engineering #software #swe
Usually it takes 3 years to become an associate at GS. You sure it’s not an analyst positon? What’s the TC for GS offer?
Don’t have an offer, still in the interview process but it is for an Associate position.
Assoc @ GS will pay more than $110k base if NYC. Tech stack highly depends on the team. Move if your tech stack sucks. Move if team @ gs is OK.
I will consider this when I make it to the final round. Thanks.
Good luck 😊
goldman makes you rich long term
Not true, although I did get offered 1 million four years ago for Kubernetes verticals lols
Do you mind explaining how, Goldman Sachs?
How are you interviewing for associate role with 10 months experience? 🤯
No clue haha. That’s the role it says I’m interviewing for 🤷🏻♂️ perhaps final role will vary once I clear interviews (if/when)
Dont join gs if you will work on slang. Stay as far away from that language as possible
Money will come as you progress your career, my feedback would be move for: experience, alignment with goals, wlb, and growth. Plus GS an American bank so HQ is in NY/JC? Unlike barclays… most of the shots are called overseas in my opinion.
keep us updated!
Nope! Don’t recommend if career growth and culture are your top considerations. Barclays has 1000s of AVPs overdue for VP promotion. It is much tougher to get to VP level here. Teams and cultures are a mixed-bag. Barclays bonuses are much lower. For AVPs <8k. GS offers much higher TC, name brand and growth potential.
I moved from Barclays to GS. I think Barclays is significantly worse (didn’t keep promises, lower comp, tech is worse)
Banking stinks run away…. Join a tech firm and develop the skills to climb fast
Yup, I agree. Also interviewing with Amazon at the moment, but wanted to see people’s opinions.
