💌 Want to partner with us? Sponsorships and brand deals: [email protected] Jean dug up the literal Day 1 handout she received as a Goldman Sachs analyst in 2010 – a yellowed sheet titled “Top 10 Tips for Success at Goldman Sachs” to share the 10 Commandments of Goldman Sachs. In this Part 1 episode we unpack the first five “commandments,” show how they still shape promotions in 2025, and remix them into actionable tactics you can deploy this week. Why hit play • Insider lore – Hear the wild onboarding mantra that had every first‑year paranoid about elevators – and why it still matters for your Slack DMs. • Career accelerators – Jean and Cherie translate each vintage tip into 2025‑ready moves (think “wins folder” + headline‑risk filter). • Pivot pathways – How one self‑assigned daily briefing launched Jean from fund‑of‑funds to consumer‑tech product exec. • Part 2 cliffhanger – Rules 6‑10 drop later in Season 4; binge‑worthiness locked in. ⏰ Timestamps 00:00  Is Goldman a cult?  Vintage “10 Commandments” sheet reveal 🕵️‍♀️ 03:13  Commandment #1 – Own Your Career (+ “wins folder” hack) 📂💪 07:14  Commandment #2 – Challenge Yourself / Defy Intellectual Boredom 🔄🧠 12:11  Commandment #3 – Build Your Network Broadly 🌐🤝 20:27  Commandment #4 – Hold Yourself to the Firm’s Highest Standard 🏆📈 25:40  Commandment #5 – Never Talk Shop in Elevators (and Saunas) 🔇🚪 28:40  Comment your craziest “elevator” moment, subscribe for Rules 6‑10 in part 2! 💖 Ready to level‑up?
