This book is a fascinating, extremely frank story about the real everyday life of investment bankers. About what else is in their lives, except for snow-white shirts, lobster dinners, confidential negotiations and crazy parties. And about what is attached to huge salaries and what you have to give up for the sake of status. All this is told by two former employees of one of the largest investment banks in the United States - graduates of the most prestigious business schools. The book is required reading for anyone who dreams of a career in investment banks.
