      In the upper echelons of an investment bank, many believe that operations are focused and profit-driven. However, Alex, the investment banker who shares his daily experiences with readers, is the exact opposite. Lazy, decadent, and greedy, he spares no intrigue and embodies a different type than the successful London gentleman banker. Alex has achieved cult status among readers who yearn for his little mischiefs and mishaps. His character springs from a fine British humor that particularly shines in an industry dominated by Anglo-Americans. For aspiring investment bankers, Alex serves as a survival manual, while for others, he demonstrates that joy can exist even in less glamorous banks.

Readers are invited to follow Alex's adventures and be inspired by his unconventional approach.
