Goldman Sachs Insider: 28-Minute Crash Course on the 10 Commandments of Wall Street Survival (Part 2)


Listen Later

Every new grad walking into their first big-company job is judged by ten unwritten Wall-Street “commandments.” Do you know them? Or are you have you been breaking them since day one?


Goldman insider Jean Luo and sister Cherie unpack rules 6-10 of the infamous list, exposing the office-politics maneuvers, perfectionist rituals, and first-impression hacks that still dominate Fortune-500 boardrooms.


We chat about:

▫️ The back-channel secret: how top performers get what they want

▫️ Mentor management 101: the 3-line follow-up that turns a coffee chat into career sponsorship.

▫️ How Goldman’s “zero-defect” rule forged a cult of perfection.

▫️ Ask the “dumb” question or stay mid: the mindset shift that beats fear of looking stupid.

▫️ First-impression science: the 3 V’s for owning the first 30 seconds with any exec or client.
