How to Land a Six-Figure Job on Wall Street: Tips From an Insider

Hiring trends are looking up with firms hiring more, especially in the Wall Street investment banking sector. But even with the right skill set, it remains a very competitive job market for candidates. Scott Rostan, president of Training the Street, says the key to landing a coveted job on Wall Street is to know your strengths and know your weaknesses. If, for example, you're looking into a position in investment banking focusing on valuation, be prepared with valuation type questions of how to analyze and value a company or a leverage buyout candidate or a stock. So whether it's the valuation side, the technical side or the security side in the world of finance, he says practical hands-on reality is what sets a candidate apart and that's exactly what his firm aims to do with its training courses.
