John Rolfe grew up in the heart of Dixie. After stints at Virginia Tech and the University of Florida, he took a job doing broadcast research in New York City, convinced that "if I can make it there, I can make it anywhere." In 1993, after concluding that Frank Sinatra had sold him a bill of goods, John entered the Wharton School of Business, where he edited The Wharton Vulgarian. Following his sentence with DLJ, he was a principal with a private investment organization. Currently, John is a freelance man of sport and leisure, and is honing his panhandling skills for the next bear market.
Peter Troob grew up on the rough-and-tumble streets of Scarsdale, New York, and while in grade school starred in James and the Giant Peach. Peter attended Duke University, then worked for Kidder Peabody in New York City. In 1993 he entered the graduate program at the Harvard Business School, where he edited the humor section in the Harbus and wrote the "Kosher Korner" column. This made his mother proud. Peter is currently a partner with a private investment organization and is anticipating many happy years there.
As eager-beaver business school students, Rolfe and Troob garnered job offers as junior associates at the elite Wall Street investment bank Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, lured by dreams of wealth, glamour and power. Readers whose fascination with Wall Street shenanigans has been fueled by Michael Lewis's Liar's Poker will find this thorough rundown of an investment bank associate's daily routine sobering. By the time Rolfe and Troob were able to discern the key fact that the "investment banking community has long been an oligopoly, with only a handful of real players with the size and scale to drive through the big deals," they were already grappling with the gritty reality of performing grunt labor in an environment ruled by despotic senior partners who called innumerable meetings to set unrealistic deadlines and make superhuman demands on anybody within screaming distance. The authors' resulting disappointment and disaffection leaps off every page. Unfortunately, they take out their frustrations with indiscriminate potshots at such easy targets as word processors ("Christopher Street fairies"), copy center personnel ("a platoon of patriotic Puerto Ricans" they offhandedly refer to as "militants") and female research analysts (whom they describe as "under-sexed, eager-to-please"). Long before the hapless authors have stooped to expressing their fury at the bank by such puerile antics as urinating into a beer bottle while seated at a banquet table at the Christmas party, readers will have had enough.

太久没好好读一本书了,而且是非娱乐性质的书,而且还是英文的,我感觉真心的自豪,这得算是我第一本自发读完的英文书,而且一直出于兴致勃勃的状态。我要感谢纽约地铁,感谢kindle fire,感谢demonoid,感谢一切促使我读完这本书的种种因素,感觉受益匪浅,瞬间理解 “书中自...
评分作者的态度是我比较反感的。太多负面词汇,太多幸灾乐祸的“小器”,还有那通过吐槽他人抬高自己来堆砌的优越感。但是除了这些失格的人,谁会吐露给你一些真东西?此书展示了一些投行内部的生态,对于门外的人而言,看看总是好的。

评分Monkey Business is only telling one side of the story, from one firm. If you love finance and analytics, and don't mind working long hours, you should still talk to more people at the banks to find out more. Internship is also a great way to try it out. Don...
评分就是《华尔街追梦实录》改头换面涨价又卖一遍。 N久之前的书了。 当时还在上中学了,现在都上班了,。 难道不能出点新书么? 忘了作者是什么时候写的这书了。 投行的业务不知道在经济危机之后会不会有很大的变化,反正书里面形容得是纸醉金迷,跟《泥鸽靶》《说谎者的扑克》的...
做到associate还能这么搞笑真是不容易~~
评分funny
评分算是职场记录吧,印象深刻的就是加班多,等级,pitch crap。知道这本书是从《亲历投行》里,看完又把《亲》看了下,那本书就是对照这本写的中国投行的境况。暗无天日的工作与我目前的境遇有些相似,聊以慰藉。若能早在学生时代就读过此书该是多好。
评分131. 閱讀成本[ 次數: 1次; 用時; 2小時17分; 天數; 2天; 備註: 只看1/3 ]
评分很精彩,生动又不失深度和真实。推荐。了解投行的IBD部门生活。不择手段地例如使用小狗配对法做分析报告。
