Desk Wars 2: Money Games

A banking career, played. Desk Wars 2: Money Games is the banking sequel to Desk Wars. You join Harrow Vane & Co., a 52-floor bank on Wick Street, as a first-year analyst. Every piece of work on your desk is real finance, scored against a market that keeps moving while you work, and a retired Vice Chair is on hand to teach you every concept in it. EVERY DESK IN THE BANK Rotate through Advisory, Capital Markets and Lending, Markets, Asset Management, Private Wealth, and a secondment to the client's own finance team. Build football fields and merger models, run an IPO book, price bonds, write credit memos, hedge a trading book, rebalance portfolios, harvest tax lots and hold a company above its covenant with the thirteen-week cash. A MENTOR WHO WAS THERE Peg Ashdown, a retired Vice Chair of Harrow Vane, has a lesson for every one of the game's 206 finance concepts: a two-minute version first, then the formula, a worked example and the traps, as deep as you want to go, with two quick questions to check yourself. Open learner's mode from the title screen with no career at all, ask Peg about the work on your desk, or let her debrief you after you file. How much she helps depends on the house culture you sign into: Bankers' Hours, The Street or Up or Out. A MARKET THAT MOVES Prices, rates and volatility trade every day of the quarter. Booms, selloffs and the occasional shock all happen on their own, and your work is marked against what really happened. CLIENTS WITH MEMORY Every client has a history, a temperament and a family. Keep your promises and they bring you business. Bluff them and they remember. YOUR CLIENTS HAVE YOUR NUMBER Turn on The Line and your clients ring your real phone during the office hours you choose. Answer, text back, or call them later and make it right. Miss a call and you will have to win them back. PROMOTED ON THE RECORD Climb from Analyst to Managing Director on sponsorship, visibility, revenue and judgment. Every result shows the math behind the score. Bad luck in the market can slow you down, but only your own choices can end a career. A DESK TOOLKIT A built-in calculator for basic math, cash flows and bonds is always a tap away, so you never leave the game to work a number.
