Every new grad walking into their first big-company job is judged by ten unwritten Wall Street “commandments.” Do you know them? Or have you been breaking them since day one?

Former Goldman insider Jean Luo and sister Cherie Brooke Luo unpack rules 6-10 of the infamous list, exposing the office-politics maneuvers, perfectionist rituals, and first-impression hacks that still dominate Fortune-500 boardrooms.

▫️ The backchannel secret: how top performers get what they want
▫️ Mentor management 101: the 3-line follow-up that turns a coffee chat into career sponsorship.
▫️ How Goldman’s “zero-defect” rule forged a cult of perfection.
▫️ Ask the “dumb” question or stay mid: the mindset shift that beats fear of looking stupid.
▫️ First-impression science: the 3 V’s for owning the first 30 seconds with any exec or client.
