Solomon explained that the bank received approximately a million job applications in 2022 with 260,000 of those candidates applying for entry-level roles.
Despite all this, Goldman Sachs has also experienced a 5% increase in compensation costs, specifically $11.9bn, for the first nine months of 2023.
