Hedge Fund Summer Internship Interview
I have an interview on campus with a hedge fund on the west coast. From what I can find, the fund is about a year old and therefore is likely small in employees and AUM; it could very well be a family fund still. It is a long/short that utilizes a value and special situation strategy on mainly US equities. I have conducted searches on interview questions and what to expect, but I thought I would see if anyone has experienced something similar. Any personal experiences and knowledge are greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I interned at a small value hedge fund in NYC so maybe I can give you some insight. I got the internship during my Junior year so I faced mostly behavioral questions. The interviewer also asked me about a stock that I was interested in, but I didn't have to go into great detail pitching it. Most of the time the senior guy was on his blackberry the whole time and asked me to elaborate on past experience.
They didn't get back to me for two weeks so I followed up with both interviewers asking about the status of the position. We talked a few times for a month until they had everything in order and offered me the job. The key was definitely following up and showing enthusiasm.
PM if you want more specifics or have any other questions about working there. I spent 6 months as a part time intern working on equity research projects.
