From the Publisher

"Recently, I was selected by Morgan Stanley Capital Partners into their private equity fund. They are planning to hire only three students this year, and thus I think I have achieved possibly the best result I could in recruiting. Among others, I have WetFeet.com to thank for this."

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely thorough preparation, March 3, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Beat the Street: The WetFeet Guide to Investment Banking Interviews (WetFeet Insider Guide) (Paperback)

This guide provided excellent preparation material. It covered everything from the pre-interview cocktail session to the follow-up after the interview. The information provided in the guide was clear and easy to follow, so that flipping through for review of specific information was a breeze. My copy is all dog-eared from nervously flipping throught it again and again during my plane ride to perform my interviews. But my nervousness proved unfounded. When I felt stuck during the interviews, I just thought back to what I had read in the guide, and everything went smoothly. I even got to choose among a few of the firms I was really interested in. I recommend this to anyone who wants to be an analyst on Wall Street, but feels like they need a little help getting through the interviews.

This review is from: Investment Banking Interviews: Beat the Street (Paperback)

This guide is so compact that you can quickly get up to speed on I-Banking interviews in one night, if you had to. It truly covers only the essentials, without the clutter and filler that clogs other similar guides. If you can only afford one and you need a crash course, this is the one to go for.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beating the competition, April 9, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Beat the Street: The WetFeet Guide to Investment Banking Interviews (WetFeet Insider Guide) (Paperback)

That's what it's all about especially now that the i-banking field has contracted so much. Still, getting the grades, the right recommendations, landing the right internships, going out for a bunch of different extracurricular activities and then finally preparing as much as possible for the interviews are all key to getting the job you want. At least that's what i've found. I used this guide as part of the preparation process, having been recommended it by a college counselor. Best advice I ever got. Good stuff. Very thorough. I've received exactly the offer I wanted. All my work and research has paid off.
