格雷格·史密斯,高盛公司驻伦敦的执行董事,2012年在《纽约时报》发表的专栏文章 “我为什么离开高盛”, 吸引超过300万人阅读。格雷格·史密斯于2012年从高盛辞职,当时他是负责高盛在欧洲、中东和非洲的美国金融衍生品的主管。他生于南非约翰内斯堡并在那里长大,毕业于美国斯坦福大学,2001年成为高盛的正式员工。工作的头10年,他在高盛纽约总部工作。目前定居纽约。
On March 14, 2012, more than three million people read Greg Smith's bombshell Op-Ed in the New York Times titled "Why I Am Leaving Goldman Sachs." The column immediately went viral, became a worldwide trending topic on Twitter, and drew passionate responses from former Fed chairman Paul Volcker, legendary General Electric CEO Jack Welch, and New York City mayor Mike Bloomberg. Mostly, though, it hit a nerve among the general public who question the role of Wall Street in society -- and the callous "take-the-money-and-run" mentality that brought the world economy to its knees a few short years ago. Smith now picks up where his Op-Ed left off.
His story begins in the summer of 2000, when an idealistic 21-year-old arrives as an intern at Goldman Sachs and learns about the firm's Business Principle #1: Our clients' interests always come first. This remains Smith's mantra as he rises from intern to analyst to sales trader, with clients controlling assets of more than a trillion dollars.
From the shenanigans of his summer internship during the technology bubble to Las Vegas hot tubs and the excesses of the real estate boom; from the career lifeline he received from an NFL Hall of Famer during the bear market to the day Warren Buffett came to save Goldman Sachs from extinction-Smith will take the reader on his personal journey through the firm, and bring us inside the world's most powerful bank.
Smith describes in page-turning detail how the most storied investment bank on Wall Street went from taking iconic companies like Ford, Sears, and Microsoft public to becoming a "vampire squid" that referred to its clients as "muppets" and paid the government a record half-billion dollars to settle SEC charges. He shows the evolution of Wall Street into an industry riddled with conflicts of interest and a profit-at-all-costs mentality: a perfectly rigged game at the expense of the economy and the society at large.
After conversations with nine Goldman Sachs partners over a twelve-month period proved fruitless, Smith came to believe that the only way the system would ever change was for an insider to finally speak out publicly. He walked away from his career and took matters into his own hands. This is his story.
这本书出现在我对投行有些不一样看法之际,对我的职业有很大帮助。 我不想讨论本书中对于为何离开的价值观分歧的问题,高盛一直在那里,也有可能一直是那样运行的,其实作者离开的原因是因为产生了比高盛更高更远的追求而已。高盛已经无法与当年的他匹配。 从本书中我关注了很...
评分作者通过自己的亲身经历然我体会到了要想成功同自己的努力是分不开的,从一个职场菜鸟到金融精英,作者的努力不仅仅是在学术上的学习探究,更多的还有待人接物上,更好的沟通学习能力帮助其在经历了高盛多次大裁员中依然稳定,从书中学到了很多,每个人都有自己的性格,千差万...
评分总觉得其实还是有几分哗众取宠的意思,把很多无关紧要的事情detail化,有时候能够起到吸人眼球的意思,有时候会适得其反。不过,对于智商平庸,机会一般的劳苦大众,还是愿意听一听高盛里面的一些细枝末节,也全当消遣罢了。
评分这是一本金融行业的小传,从作者毕业到离开高盛,大约是00年到12年前后十年时间,记录了作者从菜鸟小兵成长到中层业务骨干的所思所想。总的来说,内容超出我预期,大致有以下两点收获: 1、国外与国内市场结构的不同 与中国的银行和券商有很大的区别,高盛所谓的FICC部门基本就...
评分He cold-called 20-30 firms and managed to land a summer intern as a sophomore, generally considered less hirable. It all started as sth trivial. Getting coffees and taking lunch orders. But it was all worth it. If you mess up orders, how are you gonna ...
企业文化总有衰败时,监管才是硬道理。人的本性当然是想钻空子啊!学到的东西是,认真总是没错的。- 但从头到尾总感觉作者在抢占道德制高点!
评分读过前两章,这是本内容比名字还要有启发意义的书!不知道为什么书评里有那么多人带着莫名其妙的优越感贬评这书,就好像他们都是不得志的天才一样……
评分每个公司都说自己(招)的人the most smartest,也暗示了别公司的人dumbass,比较赞赏作者后面所说
评分有趣真实。结尾有点匆匆了事。高盛对金钱的pursue跟华尔街其他公司没有什么区别,时至今日,看下眼下笑贫不笑娼的社会与各类人物形态,没有惊讶,只剩唏嘘。GC?Yep GC.
评分一个外籍青年靠自己谦虚实干的精神哪些斯坦福全奖,高盛全职,并且经历了2000,2001, 9.11,2008年美国的三次重大事件,在各个节点中,感受到了更多的企业的文化变化,有customer comes first, and other will follows, 到最后leadership corrosion, only focus on GC (Gross Credits ) 堪称公司的精神卫士,最后他离开了这个行业。 作为了解世界变迁,和一切公司的gossip 和以及如何在公司survive 是quite resourceful and helpful.
