About this book

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. "Deadly accurate . . . [a] no-holds-barred take on associate life." — Fortune "An adrenaline-fueled Animal House." — Entertainment Weekly "Not for the faint of heart." — Details
