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.

很久没有看过这么好的书了。两位投行过来人通过诙谐幽默的语言讲述了投行过来人的切身经历。也许就像前面书评人说的那样,言语之中有所夸张,现在投行的同志们也没有这么惨。但实际上,投行经历者或者旁观者都会从中有所感悟,会心一笑有没有。通过轻松的阅读体验,想必读者已...

評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...
評分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...
邊看邊吐啊~
评分做到associate還能這麼搞笑真是不容易~~
评分巨搞siao
评分funny little book; it does look like a closure to me
评分算是職場記錄吧,印象深刻的就是加班多,等級,pitch crap。知道這本書是從《親曆投行》裏,看完又把《親》看瞭下,那本書就是對照這本寫的中國投行的境況。暗無天日的工作與我目前的境遇有些相似,聊以慰藉。若能早在學生時代就讀過此書該是多好。
