In 1993,Tett joined the Financial Times as a correspondent from the former Soviet Union and Europe.

From 2005 to 2007,Tett conducted ethnographic research on the American banking institution J.P. Morgan and discovered that the insular culture was leading to the creation of financial instruments that had little basis and that could cause severe economic disruption. In a series of articles in the Financial Times between 2006-07,she wrote about the dangers posed by securitization and financial derivatives,and the unreliability of credit rating agencies.[26][27][28][29][11] Her 2009 book Fool's Gold:How the Bold Dream of a Small Tribe at J.P. Morgan Was Corrupted by Wall Street Greed and Unleashed a Catastrophe[30] recounts the lead-up to the economic crisis and the eventual collapse. She also played a significant role in the 2010 documentary Inside Job about the 2008 financial crisis.[11] The book was widely reviewed throughout the English-speaking world[31][32] and won the Spear's Book Award for the financial book of 2009.[33][34]
