Praise for
The Accidental Investment Banker
“The fashion world has The Devil Wears Prada. Hollywood has You’ll Never
Eat Lunch in This Town Again. Now Wall Street is getting a memoir-cum-
tell-all that skewers some of the industry’s most expensive egos. . . . [The
Accidental Investment Banker] offers the public a rare, ringside seat inside
the madcap and often egomaniacal world of Wall Street’s Masters of the
Universe [and] important insights into problems with Wall Street’s often
ruthless and conflicted culture.”
—Andrew Ross Sorkin, The New York Times
“A wonderful primer for anyone who has wondered how Wall Street really
works . . . Not since Michael Lewis’s Liar’s Poker has there been as good,
as accessible or as pithy a look at the world of investment banking.”
—The Washington Post
“[Jonathan Knee] has written the best account I’ve read on how the inter-
net boom and bust was experienced inside the investment banking de-
partment of a big Wall Street firm.”
—Michael Lewis,
“For anyone who remembers the crazy boom times, and the even crazier
bust, Jonathan A. Knee’s The Accidental Investment Banker is a must. . . .
Reveals a world that rivals 24 in intrigue and drama.”—Fortune
“[Jonathan A. Knee] captures the glories and agonies of his profession.
General readers will marvel at his discussion of banker pay, which,
despite being slightly out-of-date, still seems glaringly huge. MBA students
will linger over Mr. Knee’s sardonic description of a ‘sell side,’ a mandate
to auction pany. In step-by-step fashion, he shows how bankers give
their clients the impression of running a ‘secretive,’ selective auction but
in fact do quite the opposite.”—The Wall Street Journal
“This insider’s chronicle brims with humor and insight as it depicts a world
driven mad by money.”—pany
