Private Equity: A Memoir

The personal assistant to the billionaire founder of Tiger Global Management wrote a memoir about the innards of an elite investment firm and its famously reclusive boss. This was hard to put down, because it’s much more than a work memoir: it’s also about class and identity, and what happens when an assistant slowly transforms into someone else’s needs and moods. It’s also quietly instructive about how generational wealth actually behaves day to day.
