The high-stress world of hedge funds is certainly daunting for all of those who work in it. Carrie Sun — the former personal assistant to a billionaire hedge fund manager — has authored a new book called Private Equity documenting her years as an assistant and the trauma-inducing experiences that it brought.

Sun joins Yahoo Finance to discuss her new book and the revelations of working for hedge funds that it showcases.

Sun explains some of her feelings towards her ex-boss and the pressures of the job: "I wanted to communicate through the book that we... are all kind of on this treadmill of burnout and extreme, intense work altogether because I do still feel kindly toward him, and I think ultimately... he valued me a lot. " She continues on to say: "At the same time when I was driven to the ground with my burnout and I tried to speak up and ask him for help just in terms of possibly hiring another person to assist me... and he just wasn't able to get there for whatever reason."
