Goldman Sachs Asking Junior Bankers to Confirm Loyalty
The investment bank wants to confirm that analysts haven't lined up job offers from other firms. Goldman Sachs is planning to ask junior analysts to verify every three months that they don't have a job lined up elsewhere, in a periodic pledge of loyalty, Bloomberg reports. The loyalty oaths are meant to get ahead of private equity firms, which can offer candidates jobs up to two years before a potential start date. These firms have been extending offers to junior bankers at the start of their job training at Goldman Sachs, or before they even begin training, in a process known as on-cycle recruitment. Related: Here Are the Odds of Landing a Summer Internship at Goldman Sachs or JPMorgan Goldman Sachs isn't the only bank on Wall Street to crack down on poaching from private equity firms. Last month, JPMorgan Chase, the largest bank in the U.S. with $3.9 trillion in assets, warned incoming analysts in a leaked email that they would be fired if they accepted a future-dated job offer before joining the bank or within the first 18 months of their employment. JPMorgan said that the policy was meant to prevent any possible conflicts of interest. Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon.

At a talk at Georgetown University in September, Dimon said that moving to private equity puts JPMorgan "in a conflicted position" because staff are already pledged to another firm while they handle confidential information at JPMorgan. "I think that's unethical," Dimon said at the talk. "I don't like it." Major private equity firm Apollo Global Management announced last month that it would not conduct formal interviews or extend job offers to the class of 2027 in response to criticism about the private equity hiring process beginning too early.

Apollo and Goldman Sachs offer comparable compensation packages. According to federal filings pulled by Business Insider, Apollo pays analysts a base salary of $115,000 to $150,000. Associates make anywhere from $125,000 to $200,000. In comparison, Goldman Sachs pays first-year analysts $110,000 and first-year associates $150,000. Second-year analysts make $125,000.
