Jamie Fiore Higgins’s new memoir recounts her time at Goldman Sachs, describing an office atmosphere in which cowboy bankers abused underlings and sexism was rampant.
Jamie Fiore Higgins was flipping through racks of clothes at TJ Maxx on Wall Street the other day, looking for a bargain. “So, like, my mom’s a hunter,” she said, stopping to finger a tan faux-leather dress . “And I feel like TJ Maxx is feast or famine.

Fiore Higgins grew up in Basking Ridge, New Jersey, as part of a close-knit Italian American family. Her grandparents had come from Naples and Sicily during the Depression and settled in Newark. Her parents often reminded her of the sacrifices they’d made to invest in their kids’ education; in return, they expected their offspring to pursue financially stable careers and continue the family’s upward trajectory.
