This program is read by the author. A candid, intensely funny memoir of ambition, gender, and a grueling decade inside , from the author of Nothing Good Can Come from This. "A unique and brilliant book." - Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand Weeks What would you sacrifice for your career? All your free time? Your sense of self-worth? Your sanity? In 2006, Kristi Coulter left her cozy but dull job for a promising new position at the fast-growing , but she never expected the soul-crushing pressure that would come with it. In no time she found the challenge and excitement she'd been craving - along with seven-day workweeks, lifeboat exercises, widespread burnout, and a culture driven largely by fear. But the chase, the visibility, and, let's face it, the stock options proved intoxicating, and so, for twelve years, she stayed - until she no longer recognized the face in the mirror or the mission she'd signed up for. Unsparing, absurd, and wickedly funny, Exit Interview is a rare journey inside the crucible that is Amazon. It is an intimate, surprisingly relatable look at the work life of a driven woman in a world that loves the idea of female ambition but balks at the reality.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.
