Private Equity: A Memoir by Carrie Sun

fast-paced

3.5

Very good and nice insight into the world of hedge funds. I found myself grappling with similar issues that the MC grappled with. Ethicality and our responsibility to it over surviving/making money, individual impact on our world and how we can change the path we are headed down… or can we even, what we desire as adults vs what we thought we would, and how much does making a buck really matter? More than family? More than our social responsibility? Great themes I pondered along w Carrie. Loved hearing about how the ultra rich spend their days and it made me feel bad for them— they haven’t realized life greatest pleasures aren’t everything at our fingertips but the human and earth connection. Overall great writing style but found her a bit abrupt and choppy when switching topics - childhood present day private equity facts. I get why she added the childhood stuff mbut maybe could have been done more succinct or in a different book or format. Great read! Def rec come me and glad to see u break free from the constraints of our own brain Carrie.
