froxgirl | 2 altre recensioni | Mar 30, 2024 | I’m not typically a fan of workplace reads, whether biographical or otherwise, but there is something endearing about Private Equity and the way that Carrie Sun tells about her climb up the corporate ladder, focusing primarily on her time at Carbon working as an executive administrative assistant to the founder of the company, Boone Prescott.
From the beginning, it was like listening to a friend tell me a story. It is very engaging and surprisingly thought-provoking, especially for someone who is the furthest from being financial or corporate-minded herself. I got heavy The Devil Wears Prada vibes as far as the assistant job that is like a succubus to your existence, completely taking over Carrie’s life before she even realizes it’s happening. She was living to work not working to live, and it always breaks my heart to see people give up so much for a job. I know it had to be hard for her too because I could see how this would be a dream job to some, but at what cost?
My heart hurt for Carrie and what she endured yet I also feel inspired by reading her story. I am currently at a personal crossroads myself and seeing how she jumped and took a leap of faith, plus where she eventually landed, gives me confidence and courage to do the same. This is a story not only comes from experiences but also has personal reflections as it’s clear that Carrie was trying to process her life during that time through writing and self-reflection.
Honestly, I wasn’t expecting to like this novel as much as I did but I was pleasantly surprised and read it relatively quick. I really enjoyed the overall cadence of this novel, with the authors expert weaving of past and present personal experiences with information and education about varying subjects in the financial sector, so there is truly something for everyone. Highly recommend!

cflores0420 | 2 altre recensioni | Mar 8, 2024 | She survived and awakened to a different reality. An overachiever by nature and upbringing she eventually survived toxic work situations that hid behind the need to gain wealth for company and self. She also survived the kind of toxic personal relationship where the man felt that she should serve him as he felt that he/his work was of greater importance. The writing was a bit pedestrian and rarely cohesive, but her struggles after awakening to her true value is of great importance.
