At every level when adjusted for local cost of living? No way. Intern/New Analyst jobs paid around half of what you’d get at full tech companies. If you stick with it for 2 years and then 5 years you can get very good bumps.

The cool thing about Goldman as an internship/first-post-uni job is that they provide the opportunity for a lot of very capable people whose resumes would be ignored for SWE roles in tech. And, while I don’t know what the current H1B situation is, banking tech has been a huge enabler for talent in markets like Ghana or Nigeria.

That was not the case 10+ years ago, especially at the entry level. Their entry level pay used to be lower because people did not mind accepting lower in exchange for the brand name on the resume.

Their numbers seem kinda low looking at levels.fyi
