4.0 out of 5 stars Great for General Information, December 27, 2007

This guide provides a general overview of the investment banking industry - all the divisions and opportunities, positions available, salaries, hours, etc. I recommend it to anyone who wants a very honest and straightfoward description of I-banking. This book is great for sparking interest, but further investigation in desired fields is necessary. Aside from the numerous typos and poor editing, the guide has served me well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Book To Have For Investment Banking, August 10, 2008

By 

Joan Cashmere "future08" (New York, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Vault Career Guide to Investment Banking (Vault Career Library) (Paperback)

This book is a good book to have, but I can't say it's the best. It is very detailed about what exactly investment bankers do and the different services they provide. Otherwise, there is little to no information about the lifestyle of investment banking, the qualifications to becoming an investment banker, the best banks for investment banking etc.
I would recommend Private Wealth Management by Vault Career Guides

This review is from: Vault Career Guide to Investment Banking (Vault Career Library) (Paperback)

This book is effective in explaining the overall functions of an investment bank within the larger investment community and how the different divisions co-exist inside the bank. Worthwhile read for those aspiring bankers to develop an understanding of the relentless culture that is investment banking.
