INSIDE GOLDMAN SACHS: This is what a day in the life of a technology analyst is like
The banks that get their technology strategy right will stay profitable at a time when sluggish global growth, low interest rates, and ever-developing regulations are hitting the bottom line. Those that don't, won't.
Goldman Sachs is aiming to be in the former camp.
Goldman employs about 9,000 people in its tech division globally, roughly 25% of its total staff.
Goldman Sachs received more than 250,000 job applications for summer positions this year. In fact, Goldman revealed that 223,849 undergraduates applied for summer jobs and new analyst positions in 2016, up 46% from 2012.
