Meet John and Peter, two young business school graduates about to become frustrated foot soldiers for the world of high finance. 20 hour days, inflated salaries, senseless prospects, outlandish characters and strip club lap dances make escaping with their sanity sound like the best deal of all.

4 out of 5 starsGreat Read For Aspiring Investment Bankers, 2008-08-10
For those interested in investment banking, this is a good book to read. It gives an in depth(and very personal view)of investment banking on Wall Street. Very witty, satirical and critical.
Positives: Very informative, insightful. Book is hard to put down. Negatives: Some parts are long-winded. Authors so obviously despise Wall Street that their negative accounts of W.S. lose credibility
Overall, the book is a great read for those interested in I.B.

5 out of 5 starsfive stars for honesty, 2008-05-30
Out there is an army of white males taking or preparing for the LSAT, GMAT, GRE and applying to law schools and business schools. This is not exactly the road less travelled, but neither was the road to Rome, right?

I could really relate to this book. OK it's fairly shabbily written - reads like it was put together over a couple of all-nighters - but, especially the stuff on office bishop bashing, it is honest in a way that is sometimes startling. Pick your poison - this is how it is.

Gives rather cynical, but realistic and funny inside view to the actual work in the great corporate finance houses.
