Are there any good SM seats left?

See above. Or are the attractive seats MMs these days? The large growth funds are down 30-50% from peak and there are <50 firms across places like TCI and the like that are truly long-term (based on LPs), have differentiated results over a decade +, compensate appropriately, weren’t just levered beta/growth over a decade, and are actually hiring analysts? 

Any names/places to focus on. Viking (understand not a true SM with multiple PMs), TCI, etc.?

 

No, no point in working for tiger cubs / elite SMs anymore. Maybe large funds with huge capital not down too much with lowkey MM model but definitely not true MM (ie Viking Farallon baupost DK)

Or MF PE instead
