Wow.  
robbieballs2003 : 6/25/2018 6:42 pm : link
That's amazing. Great job.
That's a great position for him.  
Mike from SI : 6/25/2018 6:53 pm : link
He's smart, very personable, and will meet some very influential people. We are very lucky to have him as a Giant (present tense used on purpose).

Smart guy, just finished his MBA at Wharton. Pretty impressive.
I would expect he'll be a rainmaker.  
81_Great_Dane : 6/25/2018 7:08 pm : link
He seems to be a good guy, well-known, very smart. Athletes will relate to him -- and he'll be great with non-athletes as well.
Glad he's putting that big head to use  
DennyInDenville : 6/25/2018 7:18 pm : link
lol seriously though, very cool. Great for him, makes me
Even more proud of him being a great Giant
That's

if ever use the words role model and athlete in the same sentence in a positive way, but Justin Tuck is the rare exception.

Even before this news. His R.U.S.H for literacy program is incredible and in the limited interactions I've had with him he seems like one of the most down to earth and humble athletes I've met.

My youngest would not go to bed when she was little until I read Tuck's children's book "Home Field Advantage" to her every night until she as 5 or 6 years old.

the world needs more people like Justin Tuck.

Agreed, I had the great pleasure of meeting Justin Tuck after practice one day up in Albany in 2012 I believe it was the final year there. Sean Rogers big guy, Marty B freakish big.

Anyways, Tuck was by far the nicest down to earth and humble athletic I've ever met. He signed my hat, took a photo with me and wished me well. I also met JPP that day, he was also nice but not the far and away extra mile nice that Tuck was. Tuck also looked 10x more lean and sculpted (like a fox robot) then JPP, but JPP sure did look thick (in a good way) but Tuck was like 4% body fat, the rest all bone and muscle / tissue / tendon etc.. very very defined and honestly just a great guy. Was an absolute pleasure.

I really wish I got to meet Jacobs, his Instagram makes him seem soooo down to earth, humble and cool, makes Tuck look like a stuck up prick lol. Jacobs is just so cool though. Was a great pleasure meeting Tuck. Osi also seems very nice.

Some great Giants we've had over the years.
Congratulations

Not just a Penn degree, probably the highest rated Penn degree. Wharton is arguably the best business school in the country (and probably world). It's almost always ranked top 3, and the lowest I've seen it was 4.

Anyway, love the Tuck! One of my favorite players and him being a Rangers fan kind of sealed the deal for me. Great player, great leader, great Giant. Wish him nothing but the best.
Wow ... congratulations Justin!  
short lease : 6/26/2018 1:44 am : link

If it was a younger and smaller company I would have thought this was a publicity hire but, GS does not need the publicity.

Some of the comments Tuck made reminded me of a speech that Roger Staubach made regarding his Real Estate career after Football.

Staubach went on to say that he really knew nothing about Real Estate when he started but, prepared for it (like he prepared for Football) by learning everything there was to know about Real Estate development to get the competitive edge over his competition (paraphrasing).

When he retired from the business - he sold his company for over 800 million dollars.

Good luck Justin !!

But for those unfamiliar with the finance world, a VP in a finance company is very different then a VP in many other companies. There are a ton of VPs in finance companies. It is basically the mid-level managerial level. Which is unlike more traditional companies where VP is the top of the company (just below president). I don't mean to belittle Justin's accomplishment (b/c it is still an accomplishment), but just wanted to share this info. I was just surprised by this when I first learned it only a few years ago.

presumably he will be in a revenue generating job managing peoples money. The size of his role and compensation will be almost 100% dependent on how many clients / assets he can bring in the door.
I had the opportunity to meet him a few times at fundraisers  
WideRight : 6/26/2018 9:29 am : link
He's always had "it". Awareness and preparedness for any challenge life throws at you. For example, he wife has been a life-long Eagles fan, and he's been cool with it.

He's very deserving of the position, and Goldman's is lucky to have him.

Tuck  
Les in TO : 6/26/2018 10:51 am : link
is one of my all time favourite Giants for both his destruction on the field and his off the field initiatives as others have listed. I'm sure he will be successful in his new role as he's smart, hard working and charismatic.

we don't win the super bowls in 2007 and 2011 without him.

A few things  
Yobotic : 6/26/2018 11:15 am : link
I work at a Bank in NYC and VP roles are more a pay range than "Management" I seriously doubt Goldman will let him manage a team after doing an internship, and personally, I would hate to be in a position of being managed by him if I were in the bank.
VP is a significant senior level title  
JonC : 6/26/2018 11:17 am : link
but Wealth Management is a group, he's not necessarily stepping into a management level role.

Being managed by a rookie in any field is generally frowned upon.

Likely he will be part of a group with an experienced Managing Director in charge. Right where he should be coming straight out of an MBA program.
Seems like a VERY FAST path to VP  
David B. : 6/26/2018 11:47 am : link
He only recently graduated from Wharton.

I wish him well.

I also wonder how many other GS interns -- even those with MBAs, go straight to VP.

VP is not that high of a level. People get VP with 3 years of working. There are thousands of VPs in their mid 20s.

Anyway, his role is most likely a glorified stock broker. His compensation is going to be based mainly on how much assets / how many clients he can bring in the door.
Whast an awesome accomplishment

That's my understanding as well. It's also true that smaller firms nowadays will be very quick to hand out VP titles, but with an older, larger GS I'm not so sure of that.
I would assume that his role  
Keith : 6/26/2018 12:29 pm : link
would be similar to that of Wayne Chrebet who is also a licensed broker on a team. He's basically the draw for HNW clients to the team/firm.

I disagree. Yes, bringing in clients will be important. But there will be a lot more going on in private banking than that. Retirement planning, option strategy if it is part of a clients compensation strategy, estate planning will all be part of the mix.

yes, thus the "glorified" modifier.

But he will need clients to perform all those services for. GS will not provide the clients.

You seem a little butt hurt about Tuck landing this role.

Do you not think that he has enough friends in entertainment and former players who he can solicit as potential clients?

not upset at all. I think the role is a great fit for him with his personality, integrity and a network of newly minted millionaires. Hopefully he can help prevent a some of them from being broke after retirement as we see pretty often.

Just providing clarity to what we are talking about here. Apologies if I don't fill my post with a bunch of platitudes that he will never see.

Actually he will initially assist the Managing Director(s) with existing clients. At the same time he will be expected to begin adding to that group. Nobody is expected to build a book of business in 18 months.

most training programs at these firms absolutely require you to build your book in 18 months. Usually the temporary salary is over by then and you are 100% commission based so you better have a book that generates revenue.

Are you sure that holds true for Private Banking at Goldman, Bessemer etc.? This isn't a typical entry level situation.

Let me add that fees in those divisions are rarely commission based.

No, plus I am sure Tuck doesn't have the same compensation structure as joe blow off the street.

I mentioned it earlier, but I suspect that his role will be similar to that of Wayne Chrebet who got licensed at Morgan Stanley and then his team got bought out to go elsewhere for big money. He's basically the face and name that gets guys to the table so that the senior guys can close the business.
Sorry,  
Keith : 6/26/2018 3:41 pm : link
meant revenue based, not commissions. Wrap fees+Commissions=revenue generated.
