A gripping memoir of one womans selfdiscovery inside a top Wall Street firm, and an urgent indictment of privilege, extreme wealth, and work cultureWhen we meet Carrie Sun, she cant shake the feeling that shes wasting her life. The daughter of Chinese immigrants, Carrie excelled in school, graduated early from MIT, and climbed the corporate ladder, all in pursuit of the American dream. But at twentynine, shes left her analyst job, dropped out of an MBA program, and is trapped in an unhappy engagement. So when she gets the rare opportunity to work at one of the most prestigious hedge funds in the world, she knows she cant say no. Fourteen interviews later, shes in.Carrie is the sole assistant to the firms billionaire founder. She manages his work life, becoming the right hand to an investor who can move mountains and markets with a single phone call. Eager to impress, she dives headfirst into the firms culture, which values return on time above all else. A luxuryladen world opens up for her, and Carrie learns that money can solve nearly everything.Playing the game at the highest levels, amid the ultimate winners in our winnertakeall economy, Carrie soon finds her identity swallowed whole by work. With her physical and mental health deteriorating, she begins to rethink what it actually means to waste ones life. A searing examination of our relationship to work, Carries story illuminates the struggle for balance in a world of extremes: efficiency and excess, status and aspiration, power and fortune. Private Equity is a universal tale of selfinvention from a dazzling new voice, daring to ask what were willing to sacrifice to get to the topand what it might take to break free and leave it all behind.
