The Accidental Investment Banker: Inside the Decade that Transformed Wall Street Review: The most useful and informative investment banking "tell all" - While The Accidental Investment Banker isn't quite as funny, entertaining, or thrilling (although it still is all three) as some other finance classics such as Monkey Business or Liar's Poker, it is a FAR more informative, detailed, thoughtful, and insightful expose on both the specific bubble of the late 1990s and investment banking culture/psyche in general. If you're familiar with the Epicurean Dealmaker blog the quality of details, explanations, and insights are on par to that anonymous blogger's writings. This is a must read for anyone interested in a more in-depth look at investment banking culture although it is a tougher and less purely entertaining read than many similar books. Review: Stay on Story - As an I-Banker at a regional firm I always enjoy reading books such as this. This is a mixed bag. Knee starts the book discussing his internship in London, what a "rookie" does, what he did well, what he did not do well, and why he didn't want to do this forever. But, after an MBA and a short career with an airline, he's back at it again, and with success. He "accidentally" fell into a role and used his wit to carve out a successful niche. This is where this book is at its best and an excellent, fast read. Unfortunately, it's not quite a full book and Knee feels the need to regurgitate a past history of Goldman Sachs, the excellent firm for which he works. This is where the book slows down and is totally out of character with the title. Given I had just read "Goldman Sachs: Culture of Success" written by Lisa Endlish to whom he refers liberally, this was really of no interest to me. Finally, we're back to his career change to Morgan Stanley in New York and now have a new problem, the total collapse of deals where bankers earn their money. This is quite interesting also. As I-bankers will attest, the business becomes ruthless with inter-fighting as everyone grabs for the few crumbs of income, people must be let go and mansions and egos must be protected. Overall, I love the book and I'd rather he had shortened the book and stayed on subject instead of spending 30% of time on a history lesson before jumping back to his career. So, be forewarned, it's good with a twist. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #607,526 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #172 in Banks & Banking (Books) #523 in Stock Market Investing (Books) #1,031 in Biographies of Business & Industrial Professionals | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 185 Reviews | ## Images ![The Accidental Investment Banker: Inside the Decade that Transformed Wall Street - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81sRDlCJP7L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The most useful and informative investment banking "tell all" *by J***E on November 29, 2012* While The Accidental Investment Banker isn't quite as funny, entertaining, or thrilling (although it still is all three) as some other finance classics such as Monkey Business or Liar's Poker, it is a FAR more informative, detailed, thoughtful, and insightful expose on both the specific bubble of the late 1990s and investment banking culture/psyche in general.

It presents a lot of good info and perspectives on the investment banking business as practiced by the biggest such firms. Lots of good vignettes about key people. Very well written and readable. But, unless you have the indicated background or at least a passionate interest in the "Street," you may well find the Knee book too esoteric for you. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/131563507-the-accidental-investment-banker-inside-the-decade-that-transformed-wall](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/131563507-the-accidental-investment-banker-inside-the-decade-that-transformed-wall) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
