What do you mean by bump?
just shows traction to the post so others can get recommended the post and answer you because idk the book but I'm curious if it was helpful
I thought it was pretty good
Did you read it?
Powerful deductive reasoning skills right here
Yes, it is very helpful. I found an old hardback copy on my building's community book shelf and read it before starting banking. Even on the job, I would reference it at times.
Especially if you're interested in the idea of banking, but aren't exactly sure what it entails, you'll get great benefit from reading the sell-side/buy-side sections.
How did you learn financial modelling? Do you think the book can help you with that?
It comes new with a set of excel models you can access. I haven’t seen them but I’m sure they’re quality. It’s not the cheapest but nothing of the like is.
If you want to private message me an address I can send you my old copy. I have no use for it.
wasn't Rosenbaum the #1 most recommended book ever around WSO?
because it is.
this must be a troll post
I masturbate to it nightly while facing NYC’s skyline, thanking God for putting Rosenbaum and Pearl’s wisdom into this world.
Really good book and highly reccomend
It's good. Not super detailed but you'd only get that detail actually doing work on the job.
