Congrats!

Look for books by 'The Vault Career guide to...'. I have an excellent book on institutional sales and trading and I know do they do others. Also a book called 'how the City works' is v good as is anything by Alexander Davidson. Good luck mate...

check out the CFA curriculum books that deal with credit analysis and due dilligince performed by bond rating agencies. some great stuff in that. The fixed income books are especially good from that program. amazon should have 'em. either that or the cfa site www.cfainstitute.org

what sort of companies are you going to be analyzing, and at what level of lending?

do you keep your savings under your mattress?



congrats on the job...I know nothing in detail about corporate credit, so I can't recommend anything beyond a good finance textbook

chaos in the corporate world, and peace in our world... maybe they wouldnīt rule our life.... I donīt know in your countries, but where I live, banks had fucked us so many times... (I mean "us" to employees... of course they make money with big corporations)
