Discussion Materials: Tales of a Rookie Wall Street Investment Banker (ISBN 978-1642934083) is a 2020 memoir by Bill Keenan in which Keenan recounts his tenure as an investment banking associate at Deutsche Bank. First published in 2020, it is considered one of the books that defined Wall Street during the post-2008 financial crisis era.

CNBC journalist Jane Wells called it an "updated Liar's Poker," and Vanity Fair journalist William D. Cohan said it was "an investment banking tragicomedy...Somewhere between Michael Lewis’ Liar's Poker and Kevin Roose's Young Money."

Air Mail published an excerpt from the book on February 29, 2020.

The book's name is taken from the title investment bankers give to the decks they prepare for clients.
