About this listen

A newly minted MBA recounts his first years as a Wall Street investment banker - unredacted.

Discussion Materials gives the listener an honest look at Wall Street from someone in the trenches. After graduating from Columbia Business School, Bill Keenan joined Deutsche Bank's investment banking division as an associate where despotic superiors (and the blinking red light of his BlackBerry) instilled low-level terror on an hourly basis. You'll join him in his cubicle on the 44th floor of 60 Wall Street as he scrambles to ensure floating bar charts are the correct shade of orange and all numbers are left-aligned, but whatever you do, don't ask him what any of it means.

Leaning heavily on his fellow junior bankers and the countless outsourcing resources the bank employs, he slowly develops proficiency at the job, eventually gaining traction and respect, one deal at a time, over a two-year span, ultimately cementing his legacy in the group by attaining the unattainable - placing a dinner order on Seamless one Sunday night at work from Hwa Yuan Szechuan amounting to $25.00 (tax and tip included), the bank's maximum allowance for meals - the perfect order.

This is such an amusing book! and yet of course quite frightening....All these masters of the universe treating lower-echelon staff like dirt. Obviously, if working until 3 in the morning is considered normal!
The various characters are very well described, with their sundry quirks..
I came across this in the Graydon Carter book and it sounded intriguing
BTW - I still don't understand what investment banking is!

So entertaining!
