Every big Canadian banks has its IB arm, such as CIBC, TD bank, Royal Bank, Scotia Bank, etc. They are definitely smaller than its U.S counterpart.

国内投行就没那么夸张，而国内合资投行CICC、BOCI等也没有那本书里写的那么严重。
另外，对于这本书，始终觉得写的有点过了，应该是带着一定倾向性写的。毕竟，IB不像他们说的那么简单无聊，就是些文字游戏。

你怎么知道国内的不严重？ 据说差不多的。

Beause I am one of those local bankers...
I mean the workload is heave but not like what those two guys said in that book. My friends in BOCI tell me that usually they can fininsh their work after supper. That is though they have OT, they seldom stay up all night.

That really depends how the business of your bank goes. every banker wants to work overtime on WS, because if not, they may get axed next time.
Monkey Business is good reference book, but it is just for first tier IB. For canada IBs or China IBs which are about tier-2 IBs at most, it may not apply. I know a tier-3 IBer in US. Man, he went home everyday at 6pm.

hehe, but you get what you paid for.

from a foreigner's view,(about IB)

There is a book 'Monkey Business' which gives a good description of various roles and functions in an I Bank.  Also FIASCO by Frank Portnoy, Liars Poker by michael Lewis and Barbarians at the Gate are all good reads.  (also possible The Predators Ball).
