Monkey Business: Swinging Through the Wall Street Jungle

Product Information

Jamie is the comedian. He’s not good-looking but his personality makes up for it as he’s funny and smart. I liked how he was initially crazy about Kimmy then later lost interest in her after falling for Layla. However, I thought that the whole family complications thrown in were out of place and didn’t serve much of a purpose. Plus, as much as I enjoyed reading about him and Layla, they just seemed to end up together in such a strange way. It’d have been better if they were friends for a longer period of time before getting together. and management, then stay away. If the owners are cashing out, there's no reason for you to be cashing in." With this knowledge, I will always look for this section of the prospectus to see where the proceeds are going. The finance world has changed since the writing of this but a lot of the behaviours persist. I hope that it was changed for the better but I am not holding my breath. As a result, despite the jocular tone of the memoirs, I am not sure I would call this book funny - brutal and a little depressing, especially in hindsight.

The unrelenting, nearly 24X7 donkey work that junior level investment bankers are supposed to immerse themselves in with nary a care for food or sleep is enough to send the sanest to the madhouse. While once may already have read enough accounts of how I-banking looks and feels like, the vivid and gory details in the book are enough to fill one with absolute horror. In the end, while the authors find their salvation by jumping to the buy-side, not everyone is able and/or willing to do it. Parker writes intense storylines that anyone can relate to. Her characters are complex, with long and sometimes turbulent pasts that they have overcome, that still continues to affect their present. . . . I cannot wait to see where she takes this new series.”—Fresh Fiction

The ideal time to read this book would probably be when one is still in B-School or about to enter one. It is a classic, no-holds-barred account by a couple of Ivy League investment bankers about their journey to and through the "glamorous" world of banking on Wall Street that culminated with each of them finding the exit door just in time to salvage their sanity. The book is an absolute laugh riot at places and the colourful language throughout keeps the reader engaged and is perhaps required to do justice to the high-adrenaline, stressed universe the authors are attempting to describe.

In her fourth novel Sarah takes us to the competitive world of a top ten business school with four very distinct and interesting characters: One entire wall of my office was glass. It looked out onto two adjacent office buildings. At 3 A.M most of the offices in my building were dark. Any offices that were still lit up at 3 A.M demanded the attention of anybody who happened to be looking out a window of one of the adjacent buildings. To break it down, I was spanking off on a Broadway stage and everybody in the two adjacent buildings was my audience. Did any of my neighbors watch my performance? Was it worthy of a Tony? I don't know. If they did, their image of investment bankers must have been permanently disfigured"
