Description
TIME MUST-READ FOR 2024
‘A moving story of how easily a life can be submerged by work, and what it takes to regain one's soul’
— Oliver Burkeman, bestselling author of Four Thousand Weeks
What are you willing to sacrifice to get to the top? What might it take to leave it all behind?
Private Equity by Carrie Sun explores these questions through the life of its protagonist. At twenty-nine, Carrie feels trapped and unfulfilled. She has left her job, dropped out of an MBA programme, and is stuck in an unhappy engagement. So when the opportunity arises to work at one of the world's most prestigious hedge funds as the sole assistant to the firm's billionaire founder, she seizes it.
However, participating in this high-stakes world demands its price. Among the elite in a winner-takes-all economy, Carrie struggles to maintain her identity, caught between extremes of efficiency and excess, status and aspiration, power and fortune.
‘A penetrating but all the more necessary critique of extreme wealth and toxic work culture as [Sun] questions what it really means to waste one’s life’
— Oprah Daily, The Most Anticipated Books of 2024
