The Analyst Handbook - Anyone read/bought it?

Saw an ad for something called "The Analyst Handbook." I get the feeling that it is just a run of the mill tips and tricks book that would apply to most finance careers. The price on their site is $79 and was wondering if anyone has had bought it and can share insight into whether or not it was worth it.

The guy who looks to have wrote it only graduated in 2018 so not sure how insightful the information will be. That being said I do really like the idea and topics. There's so much information out there on how to get the IB/PE job, but almost none on what to do then.

If anyone has actually purchased it please comment on it's quality. Could be a great a resource.

 

Hard pass.

I'm all for entrepreneurship and others escaping the rat race, but not so long ago the topics covered here were provided free as mentoring and coffee chats.

When people try to monetize every little thing like this, it really diminishes the value offered IMHO.
