L Brooks Entwistle, MD and CEO of Goldman Sachs (India) Securities offered following tips to aspirants planning to carve a career in firms like Mckinsey and Goldman Sachs
1. Be a team player, not a solo star: “Goldman Sachs doesn’t hire super stars who cannot work in teams. It is just not our culture! We look for people who are very good at their job but are able to work in teams, and share credits.”
2. Deliver from Day 1: “When I joined Goldman Sachs after completing MBA at Harvard Business School, I was meeting clients on Day 1! That’s what we expect from our new recruits. To meet clients and start offering value to the organization. This requires a strong sense of business judgment.”
3. Manage complexity: “With globalization of products and services, businesses are very complex today. Can you manage the risks and complexity?”
