The tree hopping, tail swinging, pitch book throwing, tequila drinking and deal-breaking life of an investment banking monkey.

Curriculum Vitae
The i-banking monkey is an analyst at a bulge bracket investment bank that likes to think it is second to none. That's about all the thinking the firm does.
The monkey, on the other hand, thinks a little too much - about the firm, about the client, about the model, and as is rather obvious from this blog, not enough about oneself.
The monkey can be contacted here.
Happy reading.

The production value of this video shows that someone obviously takes this very seriously and is investing time and money into promoting this message. Who produced this video, I'd enjoy the opportunity to engage with them? I think we might be swinging for the same fence.

The video is based on the GS's recruitment video where the firm showcases its professionals and the interviewees comments get edited so they complete each others sentences. DB has done a similar thing.
Love your posts, really useful for someone who will be interning at a BB (M&A) in London this summer. Any tips on what to do to get the job at the end or probably more importantly, what not to do?

Ah. The monkey extends its regrets to the poor anonymous soul who has been sucked into the world of i-banking. But there is still hope. it's only for the summer! There is time for you to change your mind - and plenty, plenty, plenty of reasosns too.
In case you still want to charge ahead, look out for the upcoming starter pack for the Intern Class of 2007!
May the force be with you.
To the poor soul who will be interning this summer:
- "The good thing about a summer analyst internship in ibanking is that it only lasts 10 weeks."
- "There are only 3 happy days for an investment banker: the day you sign with your bank, the day you get your bonus, and the day you leave."
One day you will look back and appreciate these quotes.
This is that 'poor soul'.
Thing is, what would you do instead? At the moment I can't think of anything better. If I'm going to spend a few years working in a city job, it might as well be the most challenging one out there. I'm too young to take it easy!
To the poor soul:
May the force be with you yound Skywalker. Remember: shortcuts, delegate to the presentation team, treat the print room nicely, and go for beers with the MDs.
