Career Resources
Great list- kind of ridiculous in length, but even so: any opinions on others not on that list that are especially helpful/beneficial as far as interview prep, background on the industry, etc?
bateman - long time no see. how's the job hunt? enjoying some good time off I hope.
businessgreek - what's your educational background? blue ridge interviewers saw that I'd taken fixed income securities and derivatives, so I got pressed on callable bonds and convertible notes and swaps.
as for the list, i can't imagine anybody who works in finance would tackle that entire list in their lifetime. i am surprised it doesn't include anything by taleb or my favorite, mandelbroit's 'misbehavior of markets'. both would be ideal for behavioral finance.
based on the list, though, they seem to have a penchant for the classics and notable investors. if i had to read one book given what's going on, i'd pick up soros' 'new paradigm for financial markets'.
Tackle that list in a lifetime? I read about 10 of those books in under a year. That really killed my GPA IMO.

Love that Atlas Shrugged is on this list
i've read over half of those books on the list...
the list is definitely doable, but if you're actually working and you still like to read about finance for pleasure - well, hats off to you.
i'd say i've tackled 1/3 of the list - mostly in college. some of it (atlas) was assigned.
still, what do people think of the content and it's applicibility?
The finance content was expected but the general stuff was a bit weird.
whats the source of this list_?
