A recruiter on LinkedIn messaged me saying their bar is higher than google and the work culture is very lax “hoodie and jeans” vibe, with high career growth + comp like in a competitive hedgefund.

How bs is this?

    back in the mid-2000’s top talent was drooling over 2 places: google and goldman.
    then 2008 hit. goldman got through it quite ok, but following backlash became just a bank. and as just a bank, they stopped lot of hft stuff and started moving all their jobs to India. today, top talent in finance is limited to hfts.

      this was when google and apple had a deal not to poach talent from each other. iphone just launched, Microsoft CEO laughed at it for being a whopping $500 and not even having a keyboard. fb started to rise. people started to see amazon was easy to use, but AWS was not a thing and amazon would never make money. netflix shipped dvd’s. uber was not a thing.

      a technical fellow caliber individual at big tech would make $200-350k. Goldman default pay was lower, but bonuses for a good year would be more than what google payed.

    • Pre 2008 crash was crazy comp. Goldman was tier 1 no doubt. Top talent went to GS

  • GS pays a lot better than google. All my interviewers from GS were ex google. And their offer was indeed really high.
    But don't want to retire young so didn't join.

    GS/MBB was every MBA grad dream before 2008 because it had money.

    Now every MBA grad want to join tech as PM.

    MBA grads are the most money sniffer class of corporate slaves. They just blindly follow money 💰 💰
