New Year, New Post, New Blog
January 28, 2011
I’m about 3 years behind where I want to be in terms of this blog and my adventures in the finance world. Since then, it’s come to my attention that there are, in fact, other girls in finance who have a penchant for writing as well. Luckily for me, they’re not nearly as entertaining.
A few updates:
1) Yes, I’m still employed. In Finance. Private equity, to be exact. We’re getting to that part of the story and I’m working on a new post now. I will probably skip forward a bit so at least the blog will match where I am in life right now.
2) I have not updated simply because I have been work busy since circa September 2009. True story: I remember the day it happened. The day in which my life took a turn to busy town.
3) Private equity and hedge fund bonuses have not fallen off a cliff. They are alive and well. Investment banking bonuses, on the other hand…
4) I have agreed to do some guest blogging over at Wall Street Oasis. In an effort not to duplicate posts, I am going to try to link up that blog with this one. I have not decided on the content for WSO yet. I have a great time writing my story and would love to get a larger audience. However, seeing as how I am delinquent with blogging, that may not be the greatest idea.
Thoughts, suggestions, comments are welcome. What would you guys like to hear about?

Hey,
I’d still like to get a update on what you’ve been up to since.
How’s private equity now? have you dealt with any Australian offices or companies (I’m in Australia)
Cheers,
James.

Hi James – I’m actually still working in private equity in the States. We have dealt with a few Australian outfits but not extensively.

I really enjoy reading your blog – esp. your experience in one of the banks that fell, very interesting insider perspective. It would also be interesting to read about your experiences and any interesting work characters in your PE job now. It reminds me a bit of Equity Private’s blog…
