What is the magical power of a resume? How to negotiate? How to negotiate a salary at a new job? How do office romances arise and what do they lead to on the upper floors of rich offices? What are the recipes, secrets and subtleties of a career in European offices? What are the opportunities for a Russian in the West? Yana Afanasyeva writes not so much about finance as about financiers. Nevertheless, the reader will find here answers to many questions that are honest to the point of harshness. Having left Russia with her husband and two children in the late 90s, the young businesswoman is making an incredible career in Europe. This career resembles an adventure, but is built on a subtle knowledge of psychology, business rules and deliberate audacity. The narrator observes the life of Western corporations with avid interest and surprise, but looks at it through the eyes of a person who was born and raised in Russia. All similarities with real events, names, dates and names are coincidental.
