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.

作者的態度是我比較反感的。太多負麵詞匯,太多幸災樂禍的“小器”,還有那通過吐槽他人抬高自己來堆砌的優越感。但是除瞭這些失格的人,誰會吐露給你一些真東西?此書展示瞭一些投行內部的生態,對於門外的人而言,看看總是好的。
評分 評分像這世界上所有稀有資源一樣,很牛逼的生活永遠是充滿著競爭殺機的富饒之地,因為所有蕓蕓眾生都隻有眼巴巴仰視的份,這份“看上去很牛逼”已經足夠讓人心裏偷偷摸摸的虛榮心和欲望得到全身按摩然後吸取宇宙之精華為奮鬥注入源源不斷的活力。 而付齣的代價是,每天工作20個小...
評分假期迴傢一路都在看《華爾街的大馬猴》,它看起來是金融類的大作,但讀起來像小說,趣味性十足,毫無枯燥的教導式的語言。 這本書讓我們可以以第一人稱的身份去感受華爾街投資銀行裏的精英們的生活。即深刻瞭解瞭投行的招聘麵試、工作流程、人纔管理方麵的具體情況,...
評分失眠之夜看完瞭這本書,免得明天換頻道看其它書時對此念念不忘。 不過最重要的原因還是想快點看完這個從開始就知道的結局,真是傢傢都有本難念的經,光鮮亮麗的背後一定有苦澀的一麵,當然有些人會認為這是失敗者酸酸的妒忌,你大可繼續享受,但退齣的理由也是閤情閤理的。無...

邊看邊吐啊~
評分算是職場記錄吧,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。
評分我擦我就是個死弱逼。
評分有點誇張,夠幽默和吸引眼球。給點感性認識
評分巨搞siao
