‘Bulge Bracket’ Brings Wall Street’s Asian-American Faces to TV
- Lives of minority junior bankers portrayed in Amazon comedy
- Director partly inspired by wife’s experience at Credit Suisse
When Christopher Au’s wife landed a job at Credit Suisse’s investment banking division in 2009, the couple moved to New York where she began logging 100-plus-hour work weeks.
“We were living together, but I felt like I never saw her,” Au, 39, said in an interview from the San Francisco Bay Area, where the couple now live. “One exception was on Saturdays. She wouldn’t have to go into the office until after lunch, and we would go on these brunch dates and catch up about our week.”
