Wall Street Meat

Another one of the wall street sensational books. Seem to be so amazing how people get into wall street jobs so "accidentally".

Picked up the book yesterday as i was browsing in library and finished it within one day. Good read, especially for those who are interested to become equity analysts.

Its similar to "Monkey Business" in the sense that the author is happy to get out of the business before it turned sour and the style of writing. My lecturer or those who are in the business before will say that it's sensationalized. Look at the following quote from the afterword:

"Would I do it again? If I were 25 years old, would I go through the struggle of gaining and keeping a reputation on Wall Street again, as an analyst or in any other role? Yes, in a hearbeat. There is no better vantage point to watch and participate in this thing call capitalism."
