  "account": "Gowri Sekar, Sung Cho, and Kristin Kramer are among six Goldman Sachs partners who recently shared their experiences with Business Insider. They detailed how they learned of their promotions, celebrated the moment, and reflected on the challenges they faced to reach this milestone.\n\nSung Cho, an Asset & Wealth Management partner, recounted his experience of being at his desk during a volatile trading session when he received the call from CEO David Solomon. Cho's wife, also a Goldman Sachs MD, was the first person he called to share the news, followed by his parents. He shared that their teenage daughters were not particularly interested in the news.\n\nInna Swenson, The Core partner, mentioned she was working when she received the phone call from Solomon. She called her boss, Carey Halio, before celebrating with her team and then with her family, including her parents, husband, and daughters. Swenson emphasized the importance of developing a process to navigate periods of drawdown, which she considers crucial for her work and leadership.\n\nGowri Sekar, an Engineering partner, described his moment of realization as he was playing music to distract himself when the phone rang. Sekar called his husband and parents to share the news, with his parents' reactions making the achievement feel complete. He celebrated with his team, expressing gratitude for the support of his mentors and colleagues. Sekar advised that careers are long, and one should not get too high or low on highs or lows.",
