It's Goldman Sachs partner day — here's what it means to make the cut (GS)

Life is about to change for a whole bunch of Goldman Sachs employees.
The firm on Wednesday will announce its new class of partners, one of the most highly coveted titles on Wall Street.
The list will likely be short, with just 78 individuals making the grade last time around in 2014. And the make-up of the list will likely hint at the future direction of Goldman Sachs' business. 
Those who get called up are given a comfortable raise and a solid chunk of the bonus pool.
