Category: IBankingFAQ Updates

I’ve recently launched a new website/blog covering economics:  EconomicsFAQ.  This is a project that I’ve been meaning to do ever since I launched IBankingFAQ almost ten years ago.  I have three goals for this new site.  First, to explain pretty much all of economics in Q&A format, since I think economics is very poorly taught.  Second, to explain why I believe much of mainstream economics is wrong.  Third, to defend the free market, a concept this is misunderstood by nearly all, including economists.  While I’m just getting started, I aim to add a few posts a week so I hope you will check it out.

Since I get more traffic to this site, I’m cross posting all EconomicsFAQ posts on IBankingFAQ. You can see my latest post below or all posts under EconomicsFAQ.

I invite and encourage you to check out my book, How to Be an Investment Banker: Recruiting, Interviewing, and Landing the Job + Website (Wiley Finance). If you find this site useful for the investment banking recruiting process then I think you will enjoy the book. Basically, the book is an extension of this site covering in greater detail information about investment banking and lifestyle, recruiting and interviewing and the technical stuff that you need to know, including an overview of accounting, finance, financial statement analysis, valuation, modeling, M&A and LBOs.

I also want to remind you about my financial modeling self study program, which costs only $49. You can learn how to build a financial model in the comfort of your own home or office. Knowing how to build an integrated cash flow model will definitely help you in your interviews plus it is a great way to prep for those dreaded technical interview questions. Click to view more information about the financial modeling self study program.

For additional help with preparations for investment banking recruiting, please also note that I offer one-on-one coaching sessions.

As always, I look forward to your comments/suggestions/questions and emails (andrew [at] ibankingfaq.com).

I am excited to say that I’ve finished work on my book, How to Be an Investment Banker: Recruiting, Interviewing, and Landing the Job + Website (Wiley Finance) which will be released on April 1, 2013. It was a lot of work but I hope many of you find it useful for the investment banking recruiting process. Basically, the book is an extension of this site covering in greater detail information about investment banking and lifestyle, recruiting and interviewing and the technical stuff that you need to know, including an overview of accounting, finance, financial statement analysis, valuation, modeling, M&A and LBOs.

I’ve also recently launched a website called igokids. This has nothing to do with finance or investment banking but it is my full-time gig so feel free to check it out. igokids is local search and discovery site for everything kid related in New York City (in a nutshell, “Yelp for parents”). I’m proud to say that I developed it from scratch myself, being a totally self-taught programmer. See all the exit opportunities that investment banking can lead to?

I hope everyone is enjoying your summer (at least those of you in the northern hemisphere). I haven’t updated this short section on the home page in a while so a couple of announcements:

First, I haven’t been so good at responding to questions asked on the site lately. My apologies for those of you who have asked some good questions that I haven’t yet answered. I will try to get to them soon. You are also always welcome to email me.

But onto more exciting news (for me, at least). I am hard at work on a book to be entitled, “How to be an Investment Banker” that will be published by Wiley Finance. It will be an extension of this site covering in greater detail information about investment banking, recruiting and interviewing and the technical stuff that you need to know. I’ll keep you updated but it is targeted for release in the spring of 2013.

To those of you who are still in the interview process for summer internships, good luck! And my congratulations to those of you who have accepted offers.

I’ve made some changes to the home page of IBankingFAQ (the page you’re on now) so it’s not so static. I intend to use this top section to highlight any changes or updates to the site and other communications to readers.  The old home page is the About page, where you can read about the site.  Below this section is a random FAQ that will change whenever you refresh the page.

You may have noticed a new purple banner at the top of the screen advertising a new self study program that I’ve developed to teach basic financial modeling.  This is something that has been in the works for a while and I’m pretty excited about it.  You can learn more about the Financial Modeling Self Study Program.

As always, I look forward to your comments/suggestions/questions and emails (andrew [at] ibankingfaq.com).

I have upgraded the site’s theme. I am still making some tweaks, but the upgrade is substantially complete. Please contact me if you find any bugs or have difficulty finding any of the content.

I’m currently working on upgrading the site’s theme. All of the content should be here but might be a little harder to find. Sorry also for the random banner images. Hopefully things will be fixed up shortly.
