Hey,
Anyone heard of Passport Capital? Is it a good place to work? Good brand name?
Would my exit opps into other hedge funds or b-school be good from this fund?
Thanks.





i know an alum who works
i know an alum who works there..apparently it is a good place to work, pay well, great SF weather. IMO b schools always value hedge fund experience as long as you have some achievements to talk about in your essays..as far as other hedge funds, it depends what exactly you do at passport.
Thanks
Yes, I would be on the investing side assisting with research and any other analysis, maintaining comps, building models, primary research etc.
I probably won't be getting direct 'idea-generating' experience in the short-term, but hopefully that's the track I'd end up on if everything went well.
Do those skills seem transferable?
Its a very good place to
Its a very good place to work. I first heard of them through their India Strategy, I've met a couple of people that work there. Good brand name and good exit opps to other hedge funds.

Thanks again
That's good to know.
I'm hoping I stay here for a long time... but no one can predict the future.
