Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased this book because I am in the process of changing career path and move into equity research. I found "How to Get an Equity Research Analyst Job" to be extremely helpful in preparing for interviews, and while the book is primarily targeted to business school and undergraduate students, I believe it is also a very good reference book for more experienced finance professionals.
The book begins with an overview of the asset management industry and the role of securities analysts (sell and buy side). The author than explains how to best prepare for the different types of interviews: the stock pitch, brainteasers, case interviews, and the "analyze a stock on the day" interview, among others. What I found particularly helpful was Chapter 4, "Understand and prepare for the stock pitch interview": the author uses Colgate-Palmolive stock as an example and clearly defines all the steps necessary to select the stock, obtain financial reports, calculate the key financial ratios, determine the risks and, most importantly, how to structure the investment thesis.
I would definitely recommend "How to Get an Equity Research Analyst Job" to anyone who is interested in sell side equity research and people who want to make a career change.
