Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon to interns: 'The only constant is change.' See the letter.

Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon 이 2025년 여름에 진행되는 internship에 참가한 대상자들에게 보내는 메세지라고 합니다. 최고의 인재들을 모아서 10주 정도의 교육을 시키면서 기업에 대한 이해를 높이고, 그들이 앞으로 어떻게 기여할 것인지를 알아가는 시간이 되는 것 같습니다. (부럽다는 생각이 드네요~ ㅎㅎ)

 

반면, 우리나라 또한 대기업의 경우, 이런 프로그램이 활발히 운영되고 있지만, 중소/중견기업의 경우는 쉽지 않은 것 같습니다. 이런 활동들이 늘어나길 기대해 봅니다.

 

아래 내용을 천천히 읽어보시고 오늘 하루도 힘내시길 응원합니다.^^

저도 오늘 하루는 신입사원의 마음가짐으로 하루를 보내볼까 합니다.

Welcome to Goldman Sachs

 

I look forward to the summer internship program every year. Each class brings fresh perspectives and energy to our offices across the globe. Over the coming weeks, you will have the opportunity to collaborate with our exceptional teams as we serve our clients, while learning about our industry directly from our people who have tremendous experience operating at the heart of global finance.

 

Having been at the firm for more than 25 years, I will say the only constant is change, and that’s why it’s so important to stay focused on our clients in such a highly dynamic environment.

 

With that in mind, I would like to share some advice to help you make the most of your time at the firm:

• Engage with purpose. Participate in team meetings. Contribute your ideas. Take on each day as an opportunity to familiarize yourself with the firm, our business and the people around you.  
• Ask and listen, both are important. You’ll quickly learn that our people are eager to hear your views. I encourage you to stay curious, ask questions, but don’t forget to also listen to and absorb your colleagues’ perspectives.
• Partner with the people around you. It’s good to work hard as an individual, but it’s even better to deliver results as a group. Here at Goldman Sachs, we have a "we" culture. 
• Choose excellence. Don’t settle for anything less than your best work.
• Pace yourself. You’re at the start of a long journey. Don’t forget to enjoy the ride.

We are excited to spend the summer with you, and we look forward to your contributions.

Welcome to Goldman Sachs.

David
