Goldman Sachs isn't getting a new private jet, but are there better places to cut costs on Wall Street?

Hi there! Dan DeFrancesco in NYC, and I'm trying to think of what I'd want most in an office after looking at pics of the coolest workspaces in North America. I'd probably go for a private gym and spa or a chef that cooks made-to-order lunches.

Today, we've got stories on Goldman Sachs' plans for using generative AI, everything you need to know about the deal for SVB, and where to move if you want to stretch your dollar.

But first, I am serious... and don't call me Shirley.

1. I'm leaving on an (old) jet plane.

If there is a senior Goldman Sachs' executive in your life, please keep them in your thoughts and prayers. Turns out the bank won't be getting a new private plane to traverse the globe.

Insider's Dakin Campbell has the scoop on Goldman nixing plans to buy a third corporate aircraft under CEO David Solomon.

You might be wondering why a bank not buying a private plane is a relevant story. Well, Goldman's private planes have been a bit of a lightning rod.

See, it's not so much owning the jets — JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley have them as well — as much as it's how they are used.

As Dakin has previously reported, Solomon has caught some heat for using the company's jets for personal use, most notably to fly to DJ gigs. (To be sure, this is allowed as long as executives reimburse Goldman for it.)

So as the bank has looked to cut costs this year more broadly, the private jets, naturally, were a topic of discussion.

Leading us to Dakin's story about the bank turning down the option to buy a third Gulfstream, which includes details about the decision. (This plane would have ultimately replaced one of the existing two.)

I will say, I think corporate jets have been unfairly labeled as the poster child for excessive spending at the corporate level. Personal use is one thing, but buying a jet to maximize your time while traveling for business seems like a no-brainer.

Meanwhile, there are plenty of other ways Wall Street wastes money. Corporate suites are perhaps the best example of this. I love sporting events and concerts as much as anybody, but you'd be hard pressed to find a real ROI on any boxes a company owns.

I know these types of tickets are for entertaining clients, and often of part of a bigger sponsorship package, but how effective are they at actually getting more business in the door? Sure, a one-off game or event to bring a prospect too makes sense. But do you really need season tickets? I'm not sure a Knicks-Pistons game in mid-January is going to be the key to closing that big deal of yours.

Am I wrong? If you've actually landed a client or closed a deal specifically because you brought them to a game or show, let me know! I'd love to hear about it.

Perhaps we can discuss the finer details while sitting courtside.
