It’s interesting but definitely not great. The author, writer of the leveraged sellout blog, is a complete douche. Pretty much, in his eyes, if you didn’t go to Princeton and aren’t on the PE fast track then you are a failure in FINANCE. Hot chick: So what do you do? Me: I work in finance (pronounced funnance) Hot chick: Oh really

Read the definition. Read up on the author. Sit in the corner until the end of the work day.
*note* - the author’s skillz are intangibles
It’s basically like if Tucker Max wrote a book on finance. Me: Hi my name is John. Some chicks boyfriend: I know. I’m buyside.
That indian guy (leveragedbuyout’s owner) is a piece of $hit. He himself is a consultant and don’t work in IB or in Finance. But his articles are funny
a classical dbag writer.
I wouldn’t let my maids’ kids read that book.
I have started saying Finn ance now instead of Fine ance after reading this book.
where is the book thread by the way? where people said what they were reading?
“It wasn’t raining the other day.We made it rain,b****” that was awesome!
