Monkey Business: Swinging Through the Wall Street Jungle is a memoir and workplace satire by John Rolfe and Peter Troob that recounts their early careers as junior associates at Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, a major Wall Street investment bank. Rather than celebrating finance as a glamorous path, the book examines the pressure, fatigue, and absurdity that often define entry-level investment banking. Its purpose is partly humorous and partly corrective: it strips away the polished image of Wall Street and shows the routine labor behind deals, presentations, and constant demands from senior bankers. The book is best understood as an insider account of the culture of elite banking, especially the long hours, hierarchical control, and burnout that can shape young professionals. Because it is written from the perspective of two newcomers who expected prestige and discovered grueling labor, the book becomes both a memoir of disillusionment and a critique of the industry’s working norms.
