By BBC News - 2021-02-27

Description

Remote working is "an aberration" that will be corrected as soon as possible says Goldman Sachs chief.

Summary

“I do think for a business like ours, which is an innovative, collaborative apprenticeship culture, this is not ideal for us.
I am very focused on the fact that I don’t want another class of young people arriving at Goldman Sachs in the summer remotely,” he said.
Although he thought the Covid-19 pandemic had helped push the adoption of digital technologies and created ways for the investment bank to run more efficiently, Mr Solomon thought it would not lead to huge changes over the longer term.
Tech companies, also appear to be more enthusiastic about work from home arrangements.
