Risk Management at a Hedge Fund - Dead end?
Hey guys,
I have an upcoming interview for a risk management analyst position at a fairly large, well-known hedge fund... I was wondering if starting out in RM in a hedge fund out of undergraduate would end up being bad with regards to exit opps. What are the general exit opps for this type of position? How is it perceived?

Hi everyone!
Lately I was contacted by some recruiters from major hedge funds for various risk positions. I know that in banks it is very hard to move from risk to say trading. Do you know if this way is more realistic at hedge funds? Or is this a wrong way of breaking into HFs?
My current role is sort of front office so I would see that as a downgrade but I can imagine that since these organizations tend to be a bit smaller, it might be possible.
Thanks!
I would say it depends how large and structured the firm is and how closely you'll work with the traders.
If the firm is "very large" and "very structured", I would say the chances are slim but not impossible.
