SURVEY: Anyone interested in Engineering?

what is the work? what are the hours?
lol i'm not about to graduate, i'm starting eng in oct

Me too Where are you going?

Work is umm...read this: http://www.gs.com/careers/inside_goldman_sachs/business_snapshot/equities/index.html

I wouldn't mind equity research. I almost went to do economics, but at the last minute decided it wasn't for me.

i'm not too sure yet.
so you already know what you want too do and you aint even started uni? i thought u meant they had made u a job offer! oh its like a banking security firm. is it like getting a job with HSBC or something?

ah no goldman sachs is an investment bank. working there's sort of akin to being a stock broker, or a trader or an investment analyst (you know those city hotshots that economists always harp on about?) That's why i was originally going to do economics.

But I'm not sure now, I may want to go into research instead, banking is losing it's appeal.

Which uni this oct chats?

oh ok, what do you mean research? will u get paid?
well i'm either going bath or birmingham. what about you?

Yup, some sort of corporate research i guess, into new technology. My ideas about that are still a bit fuzzy. Imperial, no insurance though so I'd better get those damn grades.

imperial really? ur not doing mechanical are you? david robb is father of my friends friend (hes the head of eng or something)

Mechanical
Yup, he was the great dude who let me onto the course late due to my change of subjects.

so what grades do u need and what do u have already?
