Software Engineer • Current Employee
City of London, England, United Kingdom
November 15, 2008
Pros: Good pay, good management, good corporate culture.
Good pay:
You can get started with about £35k as a software engineer, with it rising to about £100k within 5 years or so. If you're unsure about a future in software, then I recommend the business analyst position. It's a nice balance between both of them.
Cons: Long hours. Very long hours.
You will routinely be expected to put in 70-80 hours per week. If they want you to come in on weekends, then even longer.
Life at Goldman is certainly very, very difficult.
