Download Young Money: Inside the Hidden World of Wall Street's Post-Crash Recruits AudioBook Free
Becoming a young Wall Block banker is like pledging the world's most lucrative and soul-crushing fraternity. Every year, thousands of anxious university graduates are employed by the world's financial giants, where they're taught the secrets of earning obscene levels of money - as well as how to dress, have a discussion, time frame, drink, and schmooze like real financiers. Young Money is the within story of this well-guarded world. Kevin Roose, New York Mag business copy writer and author of the critically acclaimed The Unlikely Disciple, spent more than three years shadowing eight entry-level workers at Goldman Sachs, Standard bank of America Merrill Lynch, and other leading investment companies. Roose chronicled their triumphs and disappointments, their million-dollar deals and runaway Excel spreadsheets, and acquired an unprecedented (and unauthorized) glimpse of the financial world's initiation process. Roose's young bankers are exposed to the exhausting workloads, huge bonus items, and recreational drugs that have always characterized Wall Street life. But they experience something new, too: an industry forever evolved by the significant financial collapse of 2008. And as they get their Wall Block educations, they face hard questions about morality, prestige, and the value of the work. Young Money is more than an exposé of excess; it's the tale of the way the financial crisis evolved a generation - and remade Wall Street from underneath up.
