Private Equity: A Memoir by Carrie Sun

informative reflective fast-paced

3.5

i related to this a lot and really wanted to love it. unfortunately it just didn’t come together in the way i hoped. there was a lot of information, sometimes about finance which i mostly enjoyed, but i felt it wasn’t necessary most of the time. i would have liked to see a lot more of carries inner dialogue, what she was thinking during these times versus just recounting what happened. while she was describing the interview process i was just waiting to get to her thoughts on the whole thing, but we never got them. perhaps this was in support of the point that she had no EQ and was used to subduing her emotions, but i still think she could and should have reflected a bit more throughout.
that said, i really enjoyed the parts about her family and how that affected her as an adult. i think she has an interesting story and mostly wrote it well, but i just wanted more detail, more inner self, less jumping between scenes with no reflection or explanation
