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.

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...
评分听人说过,如果你能熬过芝加哥的冬天那才能享受他的夏天。 MB这本书可算是投行的冬天吧。无数次在论坛上看到有人向对投行感兴趣的推荐此书。 言下之意,要是你了解了投行真实的阴暗面还能接受他,再来说你想做投行吧。 其实,不论你想不想做投行,此书都值得一读。Rolfe和Tro...
评分像这世界上所有稀有资源一样,很牛逼的生活永远是充满着竞争杀机的富饶之地,因为所有芸芸众生都只有眼巴巴仰视的份,这份“看上去很牛逼”已经足够让人心里偷偷摸摸的虚荣心和欲望得到全身按摩然后吸取宇宙之精华为奋斗注入源源不断的活力。 而付出的代价是,每天工作20个小...

评分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...
图书标签: 金融 投行 华尔街 finance Wall-Street IB 投资 小说
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.

哈哈哈太好笑了
评分#把banking的每个部分都恰到好处地夸大,又幽默地让人喷饭。最后一段金融危机是后来再加上去的,但很喜欢那段写两位作者之间友谊的结尾。
评分差点让我不想进投行了。
