The competition for entry-level positions in the investment banking industry has never been more ferocious, or the recruitment process more rigorous. If you harbor a burning desire to break into the world of investment banking, you should know one thing up front: charm and a great GPA from a target school aren't enough to land you the job.

To attract the attention of recruiters and survive the gauntlet of the interview process, you'll need to be completely prepared to demonstrate a fine-grained knowledge of the investment banking industry. You'll need to be fully up on a range of core technical skills, from financial statement analysis to valuation and financial modeling. And you'll need to exhibit a firm grasp of the ins and outs of M&A and leveraged buyouts.

You'll also need to know exactly what to expect during the recruiting and interview process and how to present yourself as the kind of candidate they're looking for in every way.

It sounds like you need a friend in the business--somebody who's been there, done that, and is happy to share what he or she knows about getting in and getting ahead. Hopefully, that friend also will be a gifted teacher who knows exactly the kind of information you need to know and how to present it in a way that's easy to digest and hard to forget.

Good news: You have such a friend, and his name is Andrew Gutmann.

Creator of the popular website IBankingFAQ, and a veteran of the investment banking industry who's worked for some of the top shops on Wall Street, Andrew has spent the past several years as a career coach at Columbia Business School, where he helps prepare MBA students for the investment banking recruitment process, as well as for the job itself. Based on a course he developed for the Institute for Finance, and closely following its curriculum and format, How to Be an Investment Banker

  • Covers the full range of critical theoretical and practical knowledge

  • Gets you up to speed on valuation and financial modeling
  • Provides detailed coverage of M&A and leveraged buyouts
  • Walks you through the entire recruiting and interviewing process
