I bought this book at the Phoenix airport on the way home from an interview (I didn’t get the job, bummer). Â This book describes the major changes in investment banking from the early 1990s through 2005 from the point of view of a participant, the author. Â I liked this book a lot – I didn’t know a lot about investment banking, having only worked for a commercial bank (and they are quite different). Â Knee has a nice, direct writing style, and he provides a lot of bootstrapping information so you can understand the events he writes about.
