Interested in Management Consulting, Investment Banking or Securities Trading...

..or if you would just like to learn more about the fields, I highly recommend reading "The Fast Track" by Mariam Naficy.

The format of this book is very accessible. Since sections are broken down and labled very clearly, this isn't a book you have to read from cover to cover; it lends itself to flipping through if you have a minute here and there

Here are a few examples of sections you'll find:

• "Insider Interviews" which range from first-year analysts to CEOs
• "A Good Day" and "A Bad Day" in the life of an analyst
• Case question, interview and resume hints from a recruiter's perspective
  
• Tips on how to negotiate and "How to evaluate the money"
• "Specific Skills" - how the skills required for each industry differ from the others
  

The content is very accessible; the book is geared toward students who have just started to think about these industries, so explanations start with the basics and industry jargon is defined in simple terms.

One drawback: Published in '97, the statistics and some specifics are probably outdated. I would recommend taking any figures (like salaries) with a grain of salt. I doubt the nature of the positions and the industries have changed much, and I found the information so valuable I think it's more useful than current books.

Note: Since it's almost ten years old, B&Noble doesn't carry it, but I found it on Amazon.
