As I state in the “About” section of this site, there are surprisingly few reliable sources of good information about the world of investment banking. However, that doesn’t mean there is no information out there. Wall Street Oasis (www.wallstreetoasis.com) is the best. It has message boards about lots of investment banking topics and contains some great info in the archives.
I also highly recommend the blog Mergers and Inquisitions (www.mergersandinquisitions.com). Another blog, Epicurean Dealmaker (epicureandealmaker.blogspot.com) is a little highfalutin in its verbiage for my taste but is often amusing. There’ s some good content about the way banking really is in the archives.
In addition, most of the bulge bracket investment banks also have some good info about banking careers and the recruiting process on their websites.
