Just finished reading Monkey Business by John Rolfe and Peter Troob. I loved the back-and-forth writing and thought their stories were great. Curious as to what other people thought of the book and/or how well it matches up with IB today (apart from obvious technological advancements etc)?

Loved it. Great time capsule into banking in the 90s. Unfortunately I think banking culture has become much more buttoned up since then.
I absolutely loved it - I thought it was hilarious and they had a great writing style. I'm definitely glad I don't live in a more technological age but I guess they didn't know what they didn't have back then.
