Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - This books shows you how Investment Banking works in simple terms
I really enjoyed reading and learning this book. One of the reviewers mentioned this book was the best of its kind, and it truely is. This book takes you inside on how investment banking deals are gathered and closed. I'm a commercial banker but have always been a avid follower of news in this industry. I have read Security Training and the Intelligent Investor and this was an easier read but extremely informative. I recommend this book to anyone interested or fascinated by Investment Banking. ...

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not bad but there are better choices

the Vault Career Guide to Investment Banking.... The Vault guide includes more
detailed overviews of all the departments and functions of an investment
bank 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 ... Read More

At the same time, technical books ... Read More
