Title: A bit of a turn-off
Review: This book does have some good information about the nature of the jobs discussed, but it left me cold. The trouble I had with it was that the author seemed to be suggesting that the jobs were somehow desirable, when in fact, after reading the text and interviews, it seems a repellent line of work to get into. The long hours and the competitive and grueling nature of the interview process seem like turn-offs, and the work itself seems unfulfilling. The book would be useful to those who are convinced that they would want to work in consulting or banking, though after reading this book they may actually be dissuaded (as I was) from entering such a vile, corporate environment. I suppose the author is to be commended for writing this book, but I couldn't help thinking that it was a rather unchallenging book for her to write (given her background).
