3.0 out of 5 stars
good overview of the business, but also try Vault,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Investment Banking Handbook (Frontiers in Finance Series) (Hardcover)
This book is a good overview of the investment banking business, although it is quite expensive. I would strongly recommend instead or in addition the Vault Career Guide to Investment Banking, which is available either on amazon or directly from vault.com. The Vault guide includes more detailed overviews of all the departments and functions of an investmentbank including corporate finance, M&A, sales, trading, private client services, credit, etc. If you are a job seeker in investment banking also try the Vault Guide to Finance Interviews, which contains actual investment banking finance interview questions and answers and which I found to be enormously valuable in my Wall Street job search.
