Bridgewater Associates - Business Analyst/Project Manager?

Hey guys,

I'm being consider for a Business Analyst / Project Manager "pool" at Bridgewater. What the hell does this mean? It seems that the best positions at Bridgewater are Investment Associates, Management Associates, and Tech Associates? Does this BA/PM pool flow into that or is it completely different and more back office? I think I'd be most interested in the Management Associate position of the three... would moving from BA/PM to MA be difficult?

Thanks in advance for anyone that can shed some light.

I'm pretty sure that the back office at b-water is operated by BNY, so it's probably not that. Call their hr line and just ask, to be honest. They're big on that sort of thing.
