The Examined Life

How do you survive working at a hedge fund? [Carrie Sun]


Listen Later

Carrie Sun went down the high-earning finance path and walked away. She attended Wharton’s MBA program and dropped out to pursue a writing career which led her to one of the world’s largest hedge funds as the CIO’s executive assistant. This was meant to serve as a bridge to her creative career, but instead led her to burn out spectacularly. [Episode 75]

Carrie Sun is the author of Private Equity. She started her career in financial services.
