Just spam a bunch of stock pitches to every fund you like and be well read and personable. If you want a more structured process go to one of the pod shops programs. I never joined a club or anything personally and didn’t know what a hedge fund was until senior year…I got kind of lucky lol. And yes those are all nepo.

 

FYI I’m pretty sure Farallon hiring for sophomore summer has finished already. I would find a list of L/S funds (esp founded by those from your school) and send in pitches. Include a 2-page write up and the model (esp. the model- I care a lot about seeing how you’ve broken out the drivers).
