Working the Street

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 "e;how-to"e; 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 "e;nuts and bolts"e; of Wall Street. What this book does tell the reader is about some of the "e;ins and outs"e; 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 "e;low hanging fruit"e; 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.
