Why I Am Leaving Goldman Sachs. ⇒
14 March 2012, lunch time
Today is my last day at Goldman Sachs. After almost 12 years at the firm — first as a summer intern while at Stanford, then in New York for 10 years, and now in London — I believe I have worked here long enough to understand the trajectory of its culture, its people and its identity. And I can honestly say that the environment now is as toxic and destructive as I have ever seen it.
There is a lot of similarity in this story and the one by James Whittaker about leaving Google.
This is a post from my link log: If you click the title of this post you will be taken the web page I am discussing.
Have been seeing a lot of stuff written about that op-ed.

What the Goldman guy should have written
Hypocrisy as a Business Model
It’s too bad this guy didn’t use his one chance to have put together a better piece. There are legitimate points to make about Goldman or the industry, but he didn’t do them justice.
