    From the article:

    > Goldman Sachs is set to roll out a new policy requiring incoming analysts to regularly affirm their commitment to the firm, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday.

    > Under the proposed plan, junior bankers will be asked every three months to confirm they haven’t accepted offers from other employers.

    > JPMorgan Chase & Co. recently told incoming graduates that accepting offers from other companies within their first 18 months on the job would lead to termination, a firm reminder of how seriously banks view early exits and the disruption they can cause.
