Working the Street: What You Need to Know About Life on Wall Street 

by Erik Banks (Author)

Written by a former Managing Director at Merrill Lynch, Working the Street is the resource for readers hoping to build a successful career on Wall Street. It is not a “how-to” career book or a job guide. It doesn’t tell the reader who to contact for a job or what classes to take to prepare for a career in banking, and it is not a book about the technical “nuts and bolts” of Wall Street. What this book does tell the reader is about some of the “ins and outs” of Wall Street; about how things really work in the banking world; about some of the speed bumps to watch out for and some of the “low hanging fruit” that is ripe for the picking, from getting in the door and developing positive habits, to getting a bonus and handling retirement. In order to really succeed, it is necessary to know as much as possible about how Wall Street really works. Working the Street goes a long way in providing exactly that.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“I don’t know if I would recommend for anyone to go work on Wall Street. But if she is going there anyway, I would recommend reading this book. The author put in all the necessary tricks.” –Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of Fooled by Randomness: The Hidden Role of Chance in the Markets and in Life

“The advice that one does not need an MBA is worth much more than the price of this book.”– Jim Rogers, author of Adventure Capitalist

“Working The Street may not get you a job on Wall Street, but it will certainly give you a clear idea of what you are up against. If you are a Managing Director get ready to take a quick ride down memory lane. If you have never been there, I believe you will get a fair picture and enjoy the book.” — Javier Baz, Managing Director, Trust Company of the West
