BULLY MARKET
My Story of Money and Misogyny at Goldman Sachs
A rare, riveting insider's account on Wall Street - an updated Liar's Poker - where greed coupled with misogyny and discrimination enforces a culture of exclusion in the upper echelons of Goldman Sachs.
Bully Market is a rare, riveting insider's account on Wall Street - an updated Liar's Poker - where greed coupled with misogyny and discrimination enforces a culture of exclusion in the upper echelons of Goldman Sachs. Jamie Fiore Higgins worked as a managing director at Goldman Sachs. One of just 8 percent of Goldman employees to earn the managing director title, she was the highest-ranking woman in her department. An active member of the Women's Network Committee, Fiore Higgins spent her workdays running the trainee and internship programs, recruiting, and managing top equity clients and $96 billion in stock.
Bully Market is one of the first accounts ever inside Goldman Sachs, as most employees are required to sign NDAs upon their departure. Fiore Higgins lost out on part of her compensation package because she declined to sign an NDA, leaving her free to speak openly and honestly about her time at Goldman and break the silence surrounding the company. She reveals how this elite, secretive institution operates, including that despite what press releases might say, sexism and racism is rampant in the company.
The driving force of this story is Fiore Higgins' desire not to lose herself in a system that is intent on stamping out any trace of independence. She details the struggles that her job at Goldman had on her marriage, the many events she missed in her children's lives, and the financial gap between her and the rest of her family. This is a coming-of-age story under immense pressure, and Fiore Higgins shows how she remained clear-eyed and focused despite it all.

Living in New Jersey with her husband and four children, she is a trained coach, working with teens to hone in on their leadership skills, high school, and college graduates as they begin careers, professionals as they navigate the workforce, and those in midlife looking to reinvent themselves. She is also a contributor for Medium and Thrive Global.
