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.

我是在chasedream上无意看到人们在讨论这本书的。我之所以上chasedream纯粹是因为有几瞬间我还是涌起了些许去米国念MBA的想法——尤其是这七个月来经历的项目,令我有机会和若干投行的analyst, associate, director, MD频繁打交道,大约了解他们的工作,就怀着验证事实的心情...
评分绝对是IB行业的反面宣传普及读本。无论是商学院的在校生还是有想通过B-school来创造机会去憧憬这个行业的在职者,亦或是non-financial industry workers,看了这本书之后都会对投行的工作状态和内容有深深地作呕感。以前的所有关于private club,caviar,cocktail party...
评分 评分以前我是不会写文章的,觉得自己多看看就好了,写有什么用呢?现在我明白了,有输出才会有输入,自己不试着写出来怎么能更好的吸入呢,自己写写还能加深印象,最重要的是督促自己去更新自己的知识库。 利用闲暇读完了《华尔街的大马猴》这本书不枯燥,也不是专业...
评分任何一个看似光鲜的职业背后都有着难以言说的无奈。这本书给我最大的感受就是可能这个世界上就没有什么完美的职业。对于一个刚毕业一无所有的学生,追求金钱似乎是理所当然的事情。就像马斯洛说得人的需求的几个层次,总要先让自己吃饱穿暖,体面地活下去。但是,如果一...
this book offers a great insight on investment banking.
评分昨天读罢本书感到其实投行和广告业有许多相似之处,当然主要区别还是钱,挺好玩的一部投行血泪史。epiphany一章最有趣,讲主角凌晨3点独自在办公室m后顿悟人生不想从此这般lonely and horny毅然决然离开华尔街。

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。
