Goldman Sachs Flashcards
Why Goldman Sachs?
Goldman Sachs really strikes me as a company that embraces innovation. A lot of flexibility. I love the standard of excellence that Goldman Sachs has, from what I’ve heard everyone is very passionate about what they do. I’m passionate about what I do, I wake up at 6 o’clock in the morning every day, working as hard as I can. and researching innovative new ideas. And I have a few examples.

I LOVE solving problems and developing new insights. I thrive on innovative ideas. I’m excited by data, working with a medium that has so much explanatory power. I’m passionate about what I do, I wake up at 5 o’clock in the morning every day, working as hard as I can.

And so as of now I’m looking for an internship, I may have something promising at UBS in operations but it’s not 100% certain. If I don’t get an internship then I have a research project lined up for the summer.

Rainfall, average temperature, number of sunlight hours. And the possibilities are endless, this could be extended into calculating new housing starts, . But there are so may other factors, such as pollenation, etc… that are very difficult to calculate and forecast. So one solution that I came up with is using sattelite imagery, AND IT’S ALL STARTING TO MAKE SENSE. Because the level of biomass is positively correlated
