It goes over the life cycle of a PE fund, various roles of employees and the 2/20 income model. It goes over the traditional and non-traditional routes of breaking into PE industry. The book has good and specific recommendations to start early in the college for people who know they want to work in PE. It also outlines the possible way a pre-MBA, MBA grad, advanced professionals can enter this industry. The Case Studies at the end of each chapter illuminate the importance of early planning, hard work and networking. It has a helpful chapter on how to best structure your resume and how to prepare for the interview. If you are in the process of exploring strategies to break into PE industry, this book is a good starting point. If you are looking to better understand the details of PE industry, this book is not for you

Previously, I had friends who had worked with PE firms, but I didn't know much about it. This book is a good compliment to a book like The New Tycoons, and it goes into plenty of detail on how to pursue a role in private equity. It would have been even better had there been more detail on what life is like working at various firms. That way, the reader could connect the interview process at various levels to how that translates into "a day in the life".
