Abigail Hofman: Time for Blankfein and Cohn to exit the Goldman stage

For a while now, I have commented that the Goldman brand is broken. Don’t forget that a lot of senior people are leaving the firm. Think: Ed Eisler, David Heller, Chris Barter and Raj Sethi. This exodus reflects the fact that investment banking is no longer much fun or extremely well paid.

But one thing is clear to me. This slippery slope has to stop, and stop right now. Unless the Goldman board acts decisively, Goldman risks become one of America’s fallen-angel iconic companies.
