TENURE AND TIMETABLE

The Fellowship is initially a one year performance-based contract. Prospects for conversion to permanent employment with Goldman Sachs are excellent for Fellows who are outstanding performers. Our current conversion rate with Goldman Sachs is 75 per cent. Converted Fellows remain in London although they can eventually transfer back to New York.

 

Each successful Fellow will be expected to join Goldman Sachs by mid September. There will be a comprehensive orientation program before departure organized in cooperation with Goldman Sachs. While in Britain, Fellows will be required to contribute their time, knowledge and experience to assist the Sponsor for Educational Opportunity (SEO) mentoring program for young British minorities.
