Monkey Business

This behind-the-scenes memoir of a brief and brutal career at a hot Wall Street investment bank is “the funniest read since Michael Lewis’s Liar’s Poker.” —The Industry Standard

Newly graduated business students John Rolfe and Peter Troob thought life at major investment banking firm Donaldson, Lufkin, & Jenrette would be a dream come true. Instead they discovered Wall Street employees to be overworked and at their wit’s end. Twenty-hour work days, strip clubs, and inflated salaries–this hilarious book reveals it all. 

Monkey Business is a wild ride following two young men as they realize they’re selling their souls in exchange for the American Dream.
