Ingrid Yung’s life is full of novelties. As a first-generation Chinese-American, the first female lawyer in her family, she is about to obtain the holy grail of “firsts” and become the first minority woman to become a partner in the venerable law firm Parsons of Wall St. Valentine and hunt.

Ingrid has perfected the art of “fitting in” and fits perfectly into the corporate culture of the old days. She jokes around in the company cafeteria, plays regular league softball, and seriously racks up her billable hours. But when an offensive incident on the summer trip threatens the company’s reputation, Ingrid’s status as an outsider suddenly becomes apparent.

Parsons Valentine struggles with damage control and announces a new Diversity and Inclusion initiative, directing Ingrid to lead the effort. Except she’s about to complete a massive transaction that should be her final step in securing a partnership.

For the first time, Ingrid must question her place in the company. Struggling with her peers, including her golden boyfriend, Ingrid begins to wonder if the prestige of a partnership is worth going against her ethics. But in Helen Wan’s The Partner Track, can Ingrid risk jettisoning the American dream that is finally within her grasp?

I Liked so much this book. A lot of. Ingrid Yung is a senior associate attorney interested in partnering with the Manhattan law firm she works for. She works hard and feels that she deserves an association, but like everyone else, she has to wait for the announcement to come and hope that nothing happens to ruin her.

Many people think that she is a hideout because she has a few things going for her. On the one hand, she is a woman. Second, she is Asian. The firm has never appointed a minority woman as a partner at Mergers & Acquisitions, where Ingrid works and there is real pressure on partners to be diverse. With Ingrid they get a “Zwei-Fer”.

What I like about Ingrid is that she is everyone who is fighting for a position in the workforce. She is very personable and very approachable, even if she is not ready to partner with a law firm. 🙂 Also, she doesn’t want to be named because she gives the company the appearance of diversity, she wants it based on the merits she has earned. She never wants to question that.

Ingrid is a nice person and she truly cares about others and the author did a wonderful job of conveying that. The book was very well written, very moving. She gets a close look at a person’s vulnerability to working on something without knowing if she’s getting the result she wants, or why she wants it. I highly recommend this book.

In her debut novel, Wan introduces readers to Ingrid Yung, a likeable, flawed but brave heroine, who must learn to trust her worth from within. And her journey, told in Wan’s suave prose, not too ostentatious, not too sparse, is a fascinating journey that many women (especially) will enjoy as voyeurs.

One of my favorite characters, albeit minor, is Ingrid’s mother, a Chinese immigrant who reminded me of nothing more than a Jewish mother. I can say that. I’m sure she’s terribly anti-PC, but Ingrid-ah’s mom, who initials her on all phone messages with “Love, Mom,” is too cute not to mention.

I liked this novel for all its twists and turns, and particularly satisfying compensation, but one thing I still don’t understand is its marketing slogan, which reads: “…a young lawyer must choose between the prestige of society and the American Dream.” , which she, and her immigrant parents, are very close to achieving.” In my opinion, Ingrid’s dilemma is not reduced to a choice between these two goals, because the association is her American dream. Rather, what matters is choose between those two things and your integrity, your dignity, your self-esteem.

This is a book about many things: corporate glass ceilings for women and minorities; cultural and gender diversity in the workplace; Best corporate practices and empowerment of underrepresented groups. It’s also about grass is the greener syndrome. As I read, I realized that my own lifestyle is more like that of Ingrid’s best friend, who a few years earlier left her influential job to become a wife and homemaker, a suburban mom. (Not that my job was high-profile, but it was business.) Ingrid envies her friend’s choices and lifestyle, an envy that her friend (of course) reciprocates.

Partner Track makes us think twice about what we want and how much we are willing to give to get it.
Partner Track is a down-to-earth revelation, reminding us that racism and sexism still exist not only in the corporate world but in society at large. This was a wonderful debut from a talented author who is sure to go far.

What I’m trying to convey here is that I enjoyed the story. It was very well written. I felt like Helen really captured the theme in a way that allowed me to understand the main character and how much she had to go through to make a name for herself.

There were times when I wanted to grab Ingrid and ask her, “Why are you putting up with this?” because I got emotional when she was going through another situation that made me even more terribly uncomfortable. In addition to putting on a brave face every day for not only being a woman in a male-dominated world, but also Asian, Ingrid worked so hard to partner at a less-than-grateful law firm, and I felt deeply hurt for her.

Throughout the story you get the feeling that Ingrid wants to be strong and not put up with nonsense. There were a few moments when she questioned herself about taking a stand and speaking up when she didn’t agree with things, but in the end Ingrid let it go.

I totally got it. After all, she was about to achieve a long-awaited goal and she didn’t want to screw it up, especially after her boss had to handle a very important deal with a not-so-skilled Justin. She definitely didn’t want to ruin her chances of dating.

But after the grotesque event at the company exit, when the bosses tried to put out the flames by bringing in one person to certify how diverse the company really is, and then settling on the charismatic Murph, it seemed like everything was about to start. Ingrid’s breakup down. And I have to say, I never thought Murph would do something like that, let alone say the things he did. On the other hand, it was the corporate world and not everyone is on your side. Unfortunately, Ingrid had to take a hard hit to finally realize that no matter how hard she works, her abilities just go unnoticed and are cast aside.

In terms of depth of character, it was all there. Helen did a great job playing an independent woman with a nice personality who works very hard. For example, she admired her while she was reading and she wanted to persevere like Ingrid after all she had overcome. However, Helen also made it clear that Ingrid was actually human and not a perfect woman. Though Ingrid is quick to react when it all gets too much, she’s also the first to admit that she doesn’t always do the right thing.

I really liked the ending; I liked how it all unfolded. I defended Ingrid from the beginning, so I was very pleased that things turned out in her favor. Here, too, the details have been very well crafted. I felt like she was working in a law firm with the characters, and I learned a lot from that. However, I must add that this book can be difficult to understand if the reader is not open-minded or a bit sensitive. But in my opinion really successful. I recommend!

The Partner Track is a clever novel that combines many ingredients to please a diverse audience.
Ingrid Yung is a smart, hard-working, ambitious, and dutiful Asian-American attorney who has worked at a prestigious New York City law firm for the past eight years. She is on the list of future partners. And though she has diligently followed every step to ensure a perfect recording, suddenly unplanned obstacles stand in her way. But when I, as a reader, found out and silently asked Ingrid to be careful, I found her almost naive for a woman who had led such a successful career. And this defect makes her very likeable.

I would hate to divulge the details of the exciting plot. This novel is definitely a page turner. Dialogues sound real and natural. The professional scene is vividly portrayed by an author who seems to have perfect knowledge of American business and law firms in particular.

New York City, the lifestyle of the young professionals, including the friendship, dating, and real estate, are also well described.
The plot, although well developed, is a bit predictable, although a final twist is a good surprise. In addition, it offers an unexpected salvation to one of the characters. Always cool!
I wrote earlier that this novel could please a diverse audience.

As a foreigner now living in the United States, I was moved by Helen Wan’s descriptions of Ingrid’s relationships with her foreign-born parents, both as a child growing up with them and as an adult trying to settle in competitive New York City. York to lead a life . Connections are authentically described. Only those who have had these experiences can achieve such a result. Touching without sentimentality.

As I followed Ingrid Yung through the novel, I realized that the story appeals to all women, regardless of age, race, country of origin, and occupation.

Realizing this is a bit sad as we hope that things have changed for women in big business and in the world at large. They have certainly improved, but we are still far from perfect gender equality in the workforce and we are breaking down the stereotypical expectations that people have of women.

The biggest and most important positive change for Ingrid (and therefore also for the women) is her ability to follow her own path. For Ingrid it means founding her own law firm. She’s supposed to get a part-time job for her friend Rachel of hers. I like to think that staying home with young children and working from home may be an option for others as well.

When I finished reading (in a couple of nights, yes, it’s hard to put the book down) I realized that The Partner Track is a more serious book than it sounds. Important questions are asked. And good books don’t offer clean, simple answers.
