summer interns

Banking interns in Europe and some lucky ones in the U.S. are getting paaaaid (more money than they expected).

It still looks like a men's room line at a Dave Matthews concert, but this year's Wall Street intern pool is younger and more know-it-all-y.

An unprecedented act of generosity has taken place.

If there is one piece of advice to follow about how to land a job on Wall Street this summer... you might as well follow this one, cuz why not.

Are you among the people who mistakenly believe working for Goldman Sachs has lost its luster? That the youth of America no longer spend nights dreaming about what it'd be like to bask in the glow of Lloyd Blankfein? That a guy who couldn't tie his shoes 'til he was 22 was able to ruin the picture they had their minds of what it would be like to one day, if they worked really hard, have Gary Cohn hike up one leg, plant his foot on a their desk, his thigh close to their face, and ask how markets were doing? Then you don't have a clue. Goldman’s program has grown so big that the firm has to break their start date into two groups. This week welcomed the lucky few selected for “revenue” businesses, like investment banking and trading. Next week brings “services” workers, COO Gary Cohn said at a conference Thursday. Vampire squids, Greg Smith and Delaware judges can’t keep the applicants away. “Our application pool this year was greater than it ever has been,” Cohn said.
