When one elite elevator door closes, another opens: Shortly after the untimely demise of the @CondeElevator, someone started a similar account, supposedly chronicling elevator chit-chat at the famously secretive bank, under the handle @GSElevatorGossip. Sample tweet: “[NYC] Hermes #1: “Oh, and we were the smartest guys in the room” Hermes #2: “Holla!”.
Unlike the Condé twitterer, the Goldman humorist doesn’t seem worried about the career risk an unmasking might pose: Just a day after the account began publishing, he or she agreed to an anonymous interview with the Times.
Simply put, I am a banker who has some free time now that market volatility and the usual August summer lull has brought capital markets to a virtual halt. I am also someone who has long been cynical of the industry and the people that build their entire sense of self around it.
