Enamoured by the glamorous lives of the investment-banking hopefuls in Wellesley College, Massachusetts, pre-med student Riya Jain decides to become an investment banker. Her sole ambition is to secure an internship and, eventually, a full-time job with the prestigious Wall Street firm Goldstein Smith. There, she`d manage multi-million dollar projects, enjoy long corporate lunches and party at the hottest nightclubs in New York City.
Unfortunately, reality is quite different”Riya`s boss is determined to make her life hell; her unkempt colleagues fail miserably to live up to her image of I-bankers; and, as an intern, the hours are long and stressful. Having escaped the cut-throat world of investment banking, Gautam Pandey, I-banker-turned-financial-journalist, seems to be the only contented one around. Now it`s Riya turn to decide where her happiness lies”within the hallowed halls of Goldstein, or in the world outside.
Written with refreshing candour, There`s No Love on Wall Street by Ira Trivedi lays bare the seductive world of investment banking where expense accounts always come with strings attached. ISBN-9780143063346
