The Goldman Diaries: A True Wall Street Blog

Bloomberg alerts us to what is sure to be our favorite component of any Wall Street firm website--the Goldman Diaries--and excerpts some real doozies, including the following:

“I’m going to run to the office this morning,” enthuses Juan at 6:30 a.m. “I’ve got a lot of stuff to do today, so let me start it right!” Way to go, Juan! Juan’s next entry, though, isn’t until 8:15 a.m. “I’m famished,” he says. After running for more than 90 minutes, I’m not surprised. Juan gives himself a half-hour to check e-mail and news while inhaling a bowl of Wheaties at his desk, “and then my day really begins.” Wow. A Goldmanite starting work at 8:45 a.m. Maybe Juan won’t be making managing director after all.

It gets worse. Not only is Juan taking a lunch break, he’s ``out to my favorite Italian place with some of my buddies. We’ll go over some projects but more than likely we’ll talk about sports and soccer in Europe.’’ I can see Juan’s shiny new red Ferrari disappearing over the horizon without him. But wait. This is Goldman, remember? ``7:30 p.m. Dinner! While eating, I’ll analyze financial modeling. 10:00 p.m. Whew! What a day, and it’s about to end!’’ Nice recovery, Juan! We’ll make a Goldman partner of you yet!

This is too good to be true.
