Business outlook
Pros
Good pay, good management, good corporate culture. Good pay: You can get started with about £35k as a software engineer with it rising to about £100k within 5 years or so. If you're unsure about a future in software then I recommend the business analyst position. Its a nice balance between both of them.
Cons
Long hours. Very long hours. You will routinely be expected to put in 70 - 80 hours / week. If they want you to come in on weekeneds, then even longer. Lift at goldman is certainly very very difficult.
