I know what you said is in jest, but did you read what you quoted? The individual in question worked at goldman sachs as an analyst/trader for maybe 3 years (AngelList), and hasn't worked there in at least two years.
- Cthulhu_ 9y agoYeah, it's a bit of a trope like "worked at NASA" (atm over 17.000 people work at NASA). "Worked at" means nothing; show us some achievements.
- olodus 9y agoI cleaned those NASA-toilets super clean, good sir, so I find no reason why you shouldn't trust me on my knowledge about aerodynamics!
- Jach 9y agoThe new Star Wars movies have cemented that this is acceptable.
- devopsforlyfe 9y agoKnowledge of fluid dynamics, on the other hand... :-)
- joncrane 9y agoTo be fair, a lot of those companies have very rigorous hiring standards. Also many are pretty quick to let people go. So "hired by GS then left on my terms" is actually a pretty good credential.
- afjl 9y agoThis is actually very common, especially in "bulge" tier companies. My best friend interned at GS and has accepted a job there; apparently, all newly-hired analyst/traders bust their ass for the first 2 or 3 ish years before getting "hired away" by a better paying, less demanding company (typically in private equity, VC, asset management, etc). Same happens in the accounting industry.
