An excellent book for learning the fundamentals of finance! I also appreciate how the author begins by sharing his personal experiences, offering a brutally honest perspective on the industry. The writing is engaging and well-crafted.

Best IB book read so far.

[Jack Alexander · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good starter for those interested in investment banking.

[Graeme Galloway · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very detailed introduction to the pros and cons of entering such a demanding industry. The intro of the book provides a lot more information on the nitty-gritty of investment banking (the heirarcy of roles, etc) than many of the other IB books out there. Provides much more detailed technical concepts than needed for standard investment banking interviews but all-in-all, an information packed toolkit for entering the industry.

Outdated information and misleading content. You'd be better off reading twitter at this point. So many better books out there.

A shame that reviews can't go under 1 star

[Arktos · Rating 3 out of 5]

Contains a lot of information and practice problems with answers, but until I go through interviews, I cannot evaluate its usefulness.
