Reseña: The Devil Wears Prada meets Wall Street in this fast-paced hilarious odyssey in four-inch heels. Whilst some bankers take 15 minutes to agree on a font size for a presentation Alex Gerrett discovers that it takes her only one minute to lose her new bank $93000 on her first trade. Welcome to the world of finance. Being at the bottom of the corporate ladder in one of Wall streets biggest powerhouses is like having landed in a giant adult playground for new-girl-on-the-block Alex. As a child she witnessed the glamour of the money-making machine via her banker dad. Now she has survived the do-you-squeeze-the-toothpaste-from-the-bottom-or-the-top? question in the interview and is heading for The City. Her Watch Out Wall Street Here I Come attitude is soon punctured by her status as the one with the folding chair instead of a desk. She has a lot to learn for example: A $65 limo ride is a completely acceptable way to travel ten blocks... ... or five blocks if its raining. Knowing maths is important - but nowhere near as important as youd think! A bet is a bet is a bet. If you lose at credit card roulette you will pay the bill. No one cares that its your first job and the bill is $10000. And with things looking a little sticky on the Worlds markets its going to be a bumpy ride.
