I am a little disconcerted based on the number of people on here who are currently 1st year analysts or will be starting as analysts next summer who are worried about how they're going to exit banking for HF/PE.
Just wanted to remind you guys that you have to bust your a.. for at least a year before any of those opportunities exists and even then, they're few and far between until you finish your 2 years.
Reminds of football - when commentators ask coaches about games 3-4 weeks away on the schedule. Coaches always say - we just have to win this week, we'll worry about that game when it gets here.
So my advice to all of you is that PE/HF will come when it is time, but for now focus on busting your a.. in banking so you get top bucket (which matters A LOT) and have strong references.
I thought that unless you had a masters of science in finance, an MBA, CFA, was fluent in 10 languages, was personal friends with 90% of the captains of industry in the industriaized world, with a Goldman Sachs internship under your belt, British title perferred...at 16, you were a loser and should die, lest you be caught wearing a timex watch, shoes that are worh less than $2000 retail, and a car with less than 450 hp and more than 2 doors.
Where are those Japanese ritual knives when you need them?
