3.0 out of 5 stars fair, September 19, 2001

By A Customer

This book was fair, but in my opinion the Vault Guide to the Top Finance Firms is a superior guide to careers in finance. Also try the Vault.com Guide to Finance Interviews. Good luck.

1.0 out of 5 stars superficial book, November 7, 2001

By A Customer

This book is extremely superficial and unimaginative, giving only scant information and profiles from a number of companies of a few finance careers.

3.0 out of 5 stars good, but the Vault guides are better, September 21, 2001

By A Customer

In my opinion there is more and better objective information on Finance and investment banking careers in the Vault Career Guide to Investment Banking and in the Vault Guide to Finance Interviews, which have the added benefit of being able to be purchased on vault.com and downloaded immediately. Good luck.
