I bought this book in the hopes that it would help me in my career path. I have been interested in getting into the hedge fund industry and this has helped me tremendously. thanks. Rating: 5 / 5

This book is very introductory, hence I don’t recommend it to individuals already in the financial industry. Although, for a collge grad like myself this is the best and most resourceful book on hedge funds. Everything is explained in simple terms and very easy to understand. 5 STARS!!! Rating: 5 / 5

This book is a good introduction for someone that has just graduated from college. I found this book useful to help me land a job at a hedgefund and I would recommend to other college grads…maybe not recruiters like above!! Rating: 5 / 5

People interested in getting valuable information on “How to get a Job at a Hedge Fund” will be disappointed. The author’s lack of research and effort is so obvious.

The book wastes space by describing Hedge Fund Strategies and Mickey Mouse Interview Questions. The research mostly consists of a couple of profiles and interviews of young kids who have just started work at a hedge fund. Also contains obvious valuable nuggets like you need a degree from a Top 20 school.

I can’t believe authors like this get paid for this kind of work. Rating: 1 / 5

I read this book expecting to come away with some golden nuggets, especially since I am a recruiter for hedge funds. Instead, I found that the disparity is enormous between what really is required to land a hedge fund job and what Vault recommneds as the suggested approach. In my experience, following Vault’s advice is contrary to what even commons ense would dictate is the correct approach to pursue. Separately, most of the topic covered in the book are superficial at best. A real disappointment. Rating: 1 / 5
