{"product_id":"9781469108506","title":"So, You Want to Work on Wall Street?: A guide to Wall Street and how to manage your career to succeed!","description":"This book will assist you in defining what you enjoy and then aligning that with specific areas of Wall Street that will make you happy and ultimately successful. It will help you in looking for jobs that leverage your strengths, while working to minimize your weaknesses.  It will give you some insight into and advice on managing your career. In short, it provides the details you need to determine if Wall Street is indeed right for you. I have worked on Wall Street for more than 20 years, and I was and am successful at what I do. I make good money and am always learning. I remember when I first started, though. I was scared to death. I knew nothing about Wall Street except that my dad worked there and people could make very good money doing it. Yes, even in bad times! The dilemma I faced was that I had no idea what \"IT\" really was.  In my college days, what they taught didn't prepare me for what the real world of Wall Street was all about. Sure, they provided tons of financial formulas and economic theories, but not one course I took explained to me how to manage politics or how to decide what job I was best for or even what the jobs were, for that matter! To this day I am amazed that for all the money you spend on degrees, there is no outline for the real world of Wall Street. Nothing to help you decide what is right for you. Nothing that details the skills required to be successful in one of the largest and most complex industries in the world.","brand":"Xlibris Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47130292519152,"sku":"9781469108506","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781469108506_p0.jpg?v=1763697844","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781469108506","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
