"I have read a lot about Goldman Sachs and what it takes to succeed, not only in wealth management but also within your organization. I believe the most critical traits are flexibility, open-mindedness, and a thirst for education. You invest in your employees' careers and go to great measures to ensure their interests remain focused on those of your clients and shareholders. I appreciate your goal to maximize individual potential. I also value continued education and learning opportunities."

"In my opinion, the three most important traits for a high-end wealth management professional include adaptability, an eagerness to learn, and maximum integrity. These are all traits mentioned in the Goldman Sachs website and job posting, showing me that there is strong alignment with our morals and values."

Every financial institution has its coined philosophy or pillars to priorities for wealth management, which convey the qualities they expect their wealth managers to possess. Goldman Sachs communicates their priorities, or pillars, for wealth management in a less direct manner, which they relay in their business principles to convey they can be trusted and value their client's interests. A few of their business principles state, "Integrity and honesty are at the heart of our business. Our clients' interests always come first. Our assets are our people, capital and reputation. Our goal is to provide superior returns to our shareholders."

Additionally, David Solomon advises that you should "know how to write and speak publicly, know accounting, and never lose sight of what you are passionate about." Also, on their careers page, they state, "In addition to being passionate about the financial services industry, markets and research process, individuals across these teams possess strong financial modeling skills, excellent written and verbal communication, are strategic and analytical thinkers, and hold a high level of Excel proficiency."
