For anyone who has successfully transitioned from ER (preferably sell-side) to a hedge fund, can you detail the process? For example, were you contacted or did you use a head hunter? What was the interview process like and what do you think pushed you over the top? Any and all detail would be appreciated. If you know of someone and can share their story, that would be helpful as well.

There is no magic bullet on the correct path from ER to HF analyst.

I do know it does not happen at the junior level, as it usually takes many years of experience at minimum and you need to have some sort of decent stock coverage. Just being an associate won't cut it, as who would trust you to make decisions in a cut-throat environment for the best performance?

If you switch to a HF as a start-up with a buddy that is a different story, but in the post-2008 environment its incredibly difficult to raise money for new hedge funds unless the backers have a proven track record or very strong reputation within the industry already.
