Old Fund Refusing To Cooperate As A Reference (Starting Competing Fund)
Hey monkeys, for reference I recently left a very reputable non-pod shop HF (think Pershing/Elliott/Glenview) as their Head of Macro as one of two individuals at the firm (the other being a C-Suiter) with trading authority. I have recently left to raise a competing fund and my old firm is trying to ruin my credibility by downplaying my involvement, role, title and alpha-generating abilities. They have downgraded my title from Head of Macro to Research Analyst when called for references, despite the fact that I have been referred to as Head of Macro in both internal and external (client presentations, industry conferences, etc) materials.
How should I go about discreetly handling this situation so it won't damage my reputation especially while I'm talking to potential LPs for my new fund? I'm currently on very bad terms with select individuals at my old fund, so anything involving them isn't an option.
Bump, experiencing a similar situation at my own fund and looking for advice as well
Can I PM?
Of course, always looking forward to speaking with another Ex Macro Head
ooo, topical. Y'know people hate on your trolling, but you're clearly putting in at least some modicum of effort to keep it fresh which goes noticed!
Following, am in a similar situation. PM told a Yipit person I "lead our tech efforts" so I changed my title to CTO & Head of TMT, he didn't like that.
Bumping for visibility
Your troll posts never have cooked, but this one is good. Rare W.
Bump, facing a similar situation. May I PM?
For sure, feel free to hit up @HighCaliberTalent as well, he's in a similar situation. Happy to get a group chat up and running for those in the same boat too.
Bump
