Best Route to HF?
I'm a freshman in college who got bit by the HF bug after stumbling across and watching too many Ackman interviews. I know unequivocally that I want to work at a HF. Reading about the markets all day and actually investing is a dream job.
I'm just as certain that I don't really want to work in ib at all, but is the 2 years seen as a necessary prerequisite for a career in finance? Not necessarily in terms of learning technicals and training, but more as being able to say, "I did my two years in the trenches." I get the feeling that these two years out of college are a kind of rite of passage into finance, but if I can manage to get a job in the buy-side right out of college somehow, should I pass up on the ib experience?
Thanks for any responses
It depends on the buy side opportunity. If it’s a good firm, then yes. Not easy to do though.
hedge funds are not a monolithic beast.
the career track for a fundamental hedge fund differs to a tactical/discretionary trading hedge fund which differs to a quant hedge fund.
