Depends on EA to who ? If you are over qualified for an EA job with right educational background and previous work experience it can really propel your career.
Seems like a like this normal for those kind positions Assistant for Executive , ceo, or other higher position people.. not sure why she is expecting something different. You have good pay and gold benefit, but they run your life
If you live in NY, NJ, CA. $300K is barely enough to live an average living standard after you take into account federal, state and local taxes, ssn and Medicare taxes which is a ridiculous 10%,property taxes, 401k savings There is very little personal saving with the cost of everything else. While corporations demand all the “productivity “ and very little wage growth in real terms. The CEO of my company saw his net worth grow by $50billion in just last 4 years and I have seen a less than $30k increase in my compensation. The tax bracket has had a higher increase in the last 4 years than my wage. So effectively I’m getting taxed more and more, everything is almost double the cost from 4 yrs and very little wage growth. So yeah my mental health is 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I agree that is probably close to 180k post tax , also your property tax included inflated renovation and etc numbers but yes... 44 cent per kwatt my friend in the south pays 11 cents...
Her experiences are so relatable as a woman in the Finance Industry where everyone wants to be client facing, on the buyside, in a profit center, in the business, etc . The status game is crazy. Interviewer, please let the guest run a bit more without interjections. Great questions though.
Even 300k isn’t worth that. Ego is the only plausible reason for that bizarre behavior exhibited by the executive. Imagine the nightmare of stepping on eggshells around this guy so as not to unintentionally irritate him…
Yep, that confirms for me that that is abusive behavior. I work for a nonprofit and my boss was behaving this way at first, I verbally confronted her about this and put up boundaries. I still have the job.
Thank you Khe and Carrie for the video, coming from a senior business student going into the industry soon. I'm really apprehensive about how a career in Finance could ever fit well with my dream of being an entrepreneur. I'm afraid that once I'm consumed with work I won't have the breathing room to entertain any interests I have. All this stacked with a deep need for financial security and a heap of student loan debt. Now I'm 21, my plan is to secure a rotational to pay off my student loans, but everything past that is filled with so much uncertainty. I know Carrie came to realize she wanted to write, that seems like such a risk to me. I'd say writing is really similar to entrepreneurship, you can write about anything, you can also start a business on anything. Being so uncertain, I've come to realize is just a part of life, and I can't say I've found any answers through the video but I just liked seeing two adults, who seem quite nice, have a very touching conversation, and speak so maturely about things I feel so deeply about. 10/10 felt like one of those lengthy chats with close friends that just clears all the anxious thoughts. Edit: I did get something from the video, that last piece of advice for uni students felt like you were speaking right to me. And its very freeing to hear that.
Thank you so much for the kind words. It seems like you have a strong head on your shoulders and a fierce work ethic (and caring heart). That's gonna take you far, I promise
Look I'm a retired millionaire from Australia. You guys are being affected too much by external things. Man materialistic things don't mean much when you're deeply calm and peaceful which i am. What i recommend for you guys is meditation and quit stimulants like caffeine especially. You can hear and feel your intuition when you're calm and no one in your previous worlds seemed calm. I can afford everything, but the money doesn't mean much cause I can't feel better than i already feel. when you get to that level you don't care at all what others think of you and you drop the culture you were born into. I was born into an indian culture but i dropped it once i connected to my inner self. I dont need culture and religion. Indians and asians never really enjoy their life. Glad you guys broke free. Please meditate.
@BM_100 you sound young. I have to explain. I donate. I meditate so I'm always feeling good. I don't need external stuff to make me feel good so for example. I need a car but I don't need a luxury car
I think it's pretty standard in the corporate world that you acknowledge an email. Not necessarily right away but within 24 hours at least say something.
I think it's mixed. I was an MD at BlackRock and it wasn't expected of me, nor did I expect it of my team. (We did have clear definitions of expectations)
She hated her success because she wasn't doing something she loved. Many successful people love every minute of their workday and are working towards a greater purpose that benefits others. And even if you are working towards your own goal there will be many unpleasant but meaningful moments.
Sometimes you need to manage your manager, his behaviour was unacceptable in his expectations. You are not a machine and this is a general playbook that management play on super keen enthusiastic employees. He set out his expectations early, so should you. Boundaries.
very informative, thank you. Public Health advocates must take this into consideration for policy purposes because employers in this capitalist structure tend to abuse employees
Speaking from my own perspective, it's because culturally I wasn't shown any other path. Also, breaking from prestige involves deep self-awareness which I found later in life (and am still developing)
I think same can be said about a lot of cultures. But it’s little to do with culture but very individual based. You can say the same about Americans who think money and material things will make them happy
I'm finding it really hard to empathize with any woman/man earning generational wealth. There are individuals who labour more than she does and LOVE their careers. The fault isn't wall street, hedge funds or the ridiculous salary she earns. Its where you derive your sense of worth. She did all that to have "more free time" and for the credentialing status - Not because she loved it. Reminds of the Parable of the business Tycoon who sees a a fisherman having a midday nap and asks the fisherman why not hunt more fish, build a business, earn more money and retire in 50 years.......then have more free time. Life is about trade offs. There a people earning $65,000 (The US median household income) and living wonderfully happy content lives. Her story isn't a story about burn out - , anyone will get burnt out doing meaningless tasks no matter the kings ransom they pay you. Its a story about seduction of the rat race and how people trade their soul for freedom
fair, isn’t there something to be learned in eventually realizing the education of the rat race was not freedom. There are lots of folks who struggle with this
Its normal in certain circles to do it all for a societal pressure. She is just poster child of a dream someone gave to her. Its annoying when people who immigrate here to speak about American dream, when the stuff is always a bone of contention.
@ how she followed her intuition and blocked out outside pressures. One thing I might have missed, what was it about writing that made her realize go that direction? Most people know there’s something that’s a better fit, but what are those moments that make people realize what that “thing” is.
Interesting. So are you saying that folks who buck convention have dysfunctional relationships with their parents? And is bucking convention good or bad from your perspective?
@@radreadsco There are of course some aspects of personal character and life circumstances involved. But my experience is that when things turn pathological in the sense of seeking approval, prioritizing pleasing others, inability to set boundaries, to say no, it all comes down to overbearing parents that trained a child to achieve their goals rather than educate a child to face the world. And this is often a fault of first gen immigrant patents that place material achievement and their selfish goals above the interests of the child that has to painfully discover himself much later in life.
If you want to know what you want to do, first you will need time to reflect. You need money to secure time to reflect. If you know the markets why not invest retail and travel abroad? Seems simple to me. She's making it complicated for no reason.
@@radreadsco whats funny is billionaires were on their yacht in the caribbean, but they came to the beach of my hotel to eat and enjoy the beach. turns out I was where they wanted to be as opposed to thir yacht
It’s so funny that both have been out of school for so long and still think like a college student. Dint get your mindset shaped by the corp world and don’t let the paycheck dictate who you are. Do you really want to pretend to be someone you are not for 50 years of your life
You have to be submissive to God if you want to enter heaven. We were born with a rebellious nature and God has given us the holy spirit to obey him so we can stop disobeying our fleshly carnal nature..and be led by him. Seek Jesus if you want to enter heaven
What do you think of MIT -> Fidelity -> Executive Assistant?
Depends on EA to who ? If you are over qualified for an EA job with right educational background and previous work experience it can really propel your career.
Probably more of a chief of staff role than secretarial.
Seems like a like this normal for those kind positions Assistant for Executive , ceo, or other higher position people.. not sure why she is expecting something different.
You have good pay and gold benefit, but they run your life
Two things in this world you would never get back!
1. Time
2. Health
well said. Carrie got off early, all things considered
If you live in NY, NJ, CA. $300K is barely enough to live an average living standard after you take into account federal, state and local taxes, ssn and Medicare taxes which is a ridiculous 10%,property taxes, 401k savings

I can live in SF frugally for 60K income per year for many years.
Ha ha!
I agree that is probably close to 180k post tax , also your property tax included inflated renovation and etc numbers but yes... 44 cent per kwatt my friend in the south pays 11 cents...
$300k is top 4% personal income in the US, including those 3 states. It's nowhere close to average.
raised in NYC 30 years... your smokin meth if you can't live off that.... even with luxuries....
Her experiences are so relatable as a woman in the Finance Industry where everyone wants to be client facing, on the buyside, in a profit center, in the business, etc . The status game is crazy.

Glad you enjoyed and thx for the feedback
Even 300k isn’t worth that. Ego is the only plausible reason for that bizarre behavior exhibited by the executive. Imagine the nightmare of stepping on eggshells around this guy so as not to unintentionally irritate him…
I f you look on google, they specifically describe the fund/fund manager
Yep, that confirms for me that that is abusive behavior. I work for a nonprofit and my boss was behaving this way at first, I verbally confronted her about this and put up boundaries. I still have the job.
Kudos for setting boundaries

it's sad. you can see all the hurt she's been through. It's all on her face, She has cried alot.
And we've become friends after the interview, she's really found her lane/calling

@Pipping-Hot you really agree?
"Materialistic things don't mean much"
Then why not just donate all of that to me?
@BM_100 you sound young. I have to explain. I donate. I meditate so I'm always feeling good. I don't need external stuff to make me feel good so for example. I need a car but I don't need a luxury car

Boss: "Here are my kids."
Me: "Here are my bills."
🤷♂️
Why?
This is amazing. I rarely comment on videos but man… this felt extremely extremely relatable
Appreciate the honor of your rare comment, Nathan!
What resonated most?
incredible conversation! thank you for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it!
She hated her success because she wasn't doing something she loved. Many successful people love every minute of their workday and are working towards a greater purpose that benefits others. And even if you are working towards your own goal there will be many unpleasant but meaningful moments.
Agree, I think of it as a “resistance” (i.e. healthy struggle) vs. something you just outright hate
@@radreadsco yep, also wanting wealth is not materialistic per se, it equates to freedom.
Billionaires mindset is not to eliminate waiting, rather choosing when to wait. Being in control of when its time to wait.
Using power and money to buy back every moment of free time
Sometimes you need to manage your manager, his behaviour was unacceptable in his expectations. You are not a machine and this is a general playbook that management play on super keen enthusiastic employees. He set out his expectations early, so should you. Boundaries.

Asians are the slowest to realise that prestige doesn't actually make you happy.

what is the name of her book?
Private Equity, by Carrie Sun
Super cool interview
Thanks logan, what resonated most?
@ how she followed her intuition and blocked out outside pressures.
One thing I might have missed, what was it about writing that made her realize go that direction? Most people know there’s something that’s a better fit, but what are those moments that make people realize what that “thing” is.
I believe she had done a lot of writing as a kid
at 18:55 she's almost about to cry.
you're a kind and observant person. In the book, the sadness is greatly detailed. It's the more poignant part of the story (vs the hedge fund life)
Also, you're not his concubine, you ddin't get hired to fulfill his emotional needs, he has his family for that. Narcissistic abusive behavior.
no shortage of narcissist hedge fund founders
super interesting! sorry was she at a hedge fund or pe firm? unclear
Thank you. She was at a hedge fund, but the book is called Private Equity (hence the confusion).
This is common practice.
which one, Mr. Cash?
to quote something from a book I read while incarcerated "its the only game in town"
do u remember the book?
book name?
I was like...an hour long? And at the end I was like..just an hour long?
respect!
Business as usual.
In the end most stories of people who zagged when they should have zigged boil down to having a dysfunctional relationship with parents.
Interesting. So are you saying that folks who buck convention have dysfunctional relationships with their parents? And is bucking convention good or bad from your perspective?
@@radreadsco There are of course some aspects of personal character and life circumstances involved.

Email rear receipts fixes that concern haha
haha. good one!
If you want to know what you want to do, first you will need time to reflect. You need money to secure time to reflect. If you know the markets why not invest retail and travel abroad? Seems simple to me. She's making it complicated for no reason.
you can arguably life a more luxury lifestyle than a billionaire at a fraction of the cost to be honest.
I know many folks who are cash rich, but poor in all other parts of their lives
@@radreadsco whats funny is billionaires were on their yacht in the caribbean, but they came to the beach of my hotel to eat and enjoy the beach. turns out I was where they wanted to be as opposed to thir yacht
true true. hits hard
Jeez good looking people ✨
🙊
It’s so funny that both have been out of school for so long and still think like a college student. Dint get your mindset shaped by the corp world and don’t let the paycheck dictate who you are. Do you really want to pretend to be someone you are not for 50 years of your life
Where's the 50 year part? She opted out in her late 20s, me at 35...
You have to be submissive to God if you want to enter heaven. We were born with a rebellious nature and God has given us the holy spirit to obey him so we can stop disobeying our fleshly carnal nature..and be led by him. Seek Jesus if you want to enter heaven
