Meer over het boek

A “riveting and powerful” insider’s account of Wall Street, this narrative exposes how greed, misogyny, and discrimination create a culture of exclusion at Goldman Sachs. Jamie Fiore Higgins, one of the few women in the highest ranks, rose through the company driven by her commitment to her working-class immigrant family. She witnessed extravagant parties, rampant drug use, and a pervasive culture that hindered women and people of color. Despite the company's polished statistics and talking points, Fiore Higgins discovered an abusive environment masked by a façade of progress. Her experiences include shocking stories of harassment and blatant discrimination, such as being told her promotions were due to her gender, being mooed at by colleagues after pumping for her fourth child, and witnessing a male boss use a racial slur without consequences. This account serves as a wake-up call about the culture in finance and corporate America, offering actionable ideas for creating a fairer workplace. It combines a revealing look at the industry with a top Wall Streeter’s explosive personal story, highlighting the urgent need for change in a flawed system.
