My boyfriend just got a new job as an analyst at an investment bank...?

i want to get him a book about the industry. any recommendations?

"Monkey Business" was written by two ex-bankers and gives the downsides to the business. The writers were both associates (MBAs) just before the book was written but one of them was also an analyst too before getting his MBA.

I am currently an MBA student and was at all of the i-banks in NYC in October just to make sure I did not want to become a banker. The book is probably exaggerated for entertainment purposes but a lot of the lifestyle and personality issues portrayed in the book are dead on.

i got one called liar's poker, but it was about the 1980's period.

you can refer him to http://ibooyah.com
he should find the picks interesting.

"The Intelligent Investor" by Warren Buffet

I suggest "Gears of War" by Microsoft.

If he is "mathy", then get him "My Life as a Quant: Reflections on Physics and Finance".

Odds are he is not going to have time to read any book anytime in the hear future.
