想成為一個年輕有為的華爾街銀行家，就得準備好出賣靈魂？
每年都有數以千計的大學畢業生搶破頭，終極目標就是成為華爾街金融業裡的一份子。這些有備而來的新鮮人，從穿著、談吐到應酬閒聊都像極了真正的銀行家。然而，風光體面的外表，看似飽飽的口袋，這些年輕人心滿意足了嗎？
《紐約雜誌》商業線寫手凱文．魯斯（Kevin Roose）投注三年多時間，追蹤八位在高盛、美林等頂尖投資銀行工作的金融新鮮人，翔實記錄他們的工作生活，有意氣風發之時、亦有跌入谷底的難堪，偶爾出現令人眼紅的百萬美金交易，或者只是花大把時間處理當掉的Excel表格……，外人難以接近的金融聖地，在《Young Money》中展露無遺。
除了豐厚的分紅、奢靡的私生活外，2008年金融海嘯使得新一代被迫承受更多壓力，道德、信譽以及工作意義等問題也讓人喘不過氣，究竟在華爾街工作是好還是壞？
Becoming a young Wall Street banker is like pledging the world's most lucrative and soul-crushing fraternity. Every year, thousands of eager college graduates are hired by the world's
financial giants, where they're taught the secrets of making obscene amounts of money-- as well as how to dress, talk, date, drink, and schmooze like real financiers.
YOUNG MONEY
Inside the Hidden World of Wall Street's Post-Crash Recruits
YOUNG MONEY is the inside story of this well-guarded world. Kevin Roose, New York magazine business writer and author of the critically acclaimed The Unlikely Disciple, spent more than
three years shadowing eight entry-level workers at Goldman Sachs, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, and other leading investment firms. Roose chronicled their triumphs and disappointments, their
million-dollar trades and runaway Excel spreadsheets, and got an unprecedented (and unauthorized) glimpse of the financial world's initiation process.
Roose's young bankers are exposed to the exhausting workloads, huge bonuses, and recreational drugs that have always characterized Wall Street life. But they experience something new, too:
an industry forever changed by the massive financial collapse of 2008. And as they get their Wall Street educations, they face hard questions about morality, prestige, and the value of their
work.
YOUNG MONEY is more than an exposé of excess; it's the story of how the financial crisis changed a generation-and remade Wall Street from the bottom up.
