Goldman Sachs is a New York investment bank and asset and wealth manager with a headcount of 47,400 at December 31, 2025. It advises on deals, makes markets, lends and manages money for companies, institutions, governments and individuals from offices in more than 35 countries. In December 2025 it agreed to move the Apple Card program to another issuer, a transition it expects to take about 24 months.

What Goldman Sachs does

Three segments make up the firm in fiscal 2025. Global Banking & Markets earns advisory and underwriting fees, trades and finances in FICC and Equities, and lends to corporate clients. Transaction banking joined it from Platform Solutions in the fourth quarter of 2025. Asset & Wealth Management earns management and incentive fees, private banking and lending income, and investment returns. Platform Solutions now holds mainly Apple Card and exited businesses. Its net revenues fell to $151 million in 2025 from $2.13 billion in 2024, after Apple Card markdowns. Headquarters is 200 West Street in New York. Of the 47,400 headcount at December 31, 2025, 50% sat in the Americas, 20% in EMEA and 30% in Asia.

Where Goldman Sachs hires

Dallas, not New York, drew the most H-1B labor condition applications (LCAs) from Goldman Sachs entities in calendar 2025. Four entities submitted 2,197 filings that year, and six US cities reached at least 25:

The 10-K for 2025 names Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Singapore, Warsaw and Birmingham as strategic locations, and lists London, Tokyo and Hong Kong among its primary locations. The same filing puts office space in India alone at about 2.0 million square feet, more than all of EMEA at about 1.7 million. London's Plumtree Court serves as European headquarters.

Bare rank titles with no function also show up: Associate 115, Analyst 104 and Vice President 96. By rank prefix, 2025 filings split into 796 Vice President, 789 Associate and 326 Analyst titles. The firm's 10-K for 2025 describes development aimed at the analyst and associate levels and coaching for vice presidents and managing directors.
