I broke into a hedge fund without a degree
First off shout out to Byrne Hobart… His article helped me take the leap and believe in myself https://byrnehobart.medium.com/how-i-got-hired-at…
Lastly after speaking with Jack Raines, I decided to share a bit. https://www.youngmoney.co/p/six-types-wealth
No, I did not sweep the floors, but even a monkey can push buttons right?
Countless calls, cold messages leading no where and then a break!
No degree, you must be full of bs?! It was just execution with a full Bloomberg setup. ~500m global macro fund. Small and tight knit team.
I was a retail trader as a young boy and stared at this sh*t all day every day allowing the markets to consume my life.
It was enough to grasp the concepts of futures, equities and macro events. to be updated…
Ask some questions?
Bump
Is this real?
If you flex the definition of a hedge fund enough probably
😂 definitely joined one of the trading groups on discord like “Surge Traders” who call themselves a hedge fund
What does your comp look like? Do you feel as if you are locked into this firm by not having a degree? How is the upward career mobility?
Great question. I believe growth would be slower vs peers, although experience and connections built should trump all. I measure based on where I came from.
Comp quickly grew from avg Joe - six figures. Probably not what target school grads want.
Upward trajectory should depend on the individual’s experience and ability to connect with people. No free lunch in life “expecting” a promotion… regardless of background
