"Monkey Business: Wall Street, the Ride of a Lifetime" is a unique and entertaining look at the world of investment banking. Written by John Rolfe and Peter Troob, it provides an inside look into the fast-paced, intellectually challenging and at times glamorous, but also often frustrating, world of Wall Street's firms. The book takes readers behind the scenes at Donaldson, Lufkin, and Jenrette (DLJ) one of Wall Street's hottest firms during the 90s. From the interview process to the courting of clients to bonus time, it offers an unvarnished glimpse of the 20-hour work days, the grueling travel, the inflated salaries, and the unforgettable personalities that shape the industry. It's a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the true nature of the business and it's also a funny read about two young men who on their way towards achieving the American dream, quickly realized they were selling their souls to get there.
