The Insiders Guide to the Best Jobs on Bay Street features the nine hottest jobs in the investment industry: research associate, sell-side equity analyst, institutional equity sales, institutional equity trader, investment banker, equity capital markets professional, venture capitalist, portfolio manager, and hedge fund manager. Each chapter provides an overview of a specific financial role, as well as detailed information on education, compensation, industry certification, "a day in the life" of a professional in that job, a profile of the ideal candidate, and practical tips that give jobseekers a competitive advantage in the recruitment and interview process. Joe Kan offers valuable insights from insiders in the industry, including the people who do the featured jobs, and advice and perspective from the managing director-level professionals who do the hiring. I believe this guide is the first and only one of its kind in Canada. It will be a huge resource for MBA students, and any jobseekers trying to break into the capital markets arena, in that it offers insights into some of the most coveted jobs in the business - from identifying the jobs, to outlining the expectations and responsibilities, to giving guidance on the elusive topic of compensation.
