I was wondering if anyone had a summer internship at Soros Fund. I did a search on this topic and nothing really came up. I have an interview with them in a couple of weeks for fund accounting. I'm expected with meet a few members from the team so I was wondering if anyone has any insight on their culture, what they're looking for, or how the interview is like, and if there how to interview prep (study up on accounting/finance, read up on the markets, etc). For most of my friends who secured a FT or internship through OCR, it seems like accounting internships are more behavioral based.
I apologize if this is in the wrong place. Thanks in advance.

When you go for your interview, tell them you're a big fan of Glenn Beck-that will get you bonus points.
Soros Fund Management: more information on working here? (Originally Posted: 06/27/2011)
Hey,
I am new here. I am currently interning at investment banking.
I would like to work at HF, too. It would be better to work at HF and then I can judge whether investment banking fits better or not.
Does anyone have some Information about Soros Fund Management?.. I don´t know anything about Soros Fund Management, because they have no website.
What is the main strategy Soros Fund Management uses for Investment?..
In his book "The Alchemy of Finance", Soros said that he was never good at math and math is not really important.
I am curious what kind of strategy he always uses.
It would be cool if you can know something.
Have a nice day.
Soros Fund Management makes directional bets based off of fundamental macro research. They can invest in any asset they deem mispriced. His comment on math is an inference to the fact that, if it's so mispriced that you have to start doing really complicated math to figure out, it's probably not a big mispricing and not worth his time. Also an allusion to the importance of qualitative elements.
Lookup reflexivity, since that's a very important concept/term he coined that's important to his strategy.
Is it just me or does nobody on this board speak english anymore?
Dont forget the second language speakers...
you are an idiot
It's ok to dream.
What alex above said. He is more global macro but his son runs the fund now. I love soros as an investor loathe him as person.
this has to be a joke
Alex, do you know of any other funds that specialize in this type of macro analysis that you described? Any of them take undergrads right out of college, and if not, how do they get there? Thanks.
There is a lot of info out there on George Soros and his investment strategy. A good place to start is: http://www.hedgetracker.com/fund/Soros-Fund-Management

Has anyone here interviewed for a junior position at Soros? What was the process like? Did you only interview with the PM you would be working with, or did you do a bunch of meetings?
