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".
