BB Asset Management >> HF

Hey guys just had a question about asset management and what exits we consistently see.

For context: I am an incoming AM SA at a top BB (JPM/GS) in a top group, and am wanting to eventually exit into special sits (I know is extremely difficult) or L/S at a MM.

I know a lot of these seats are reserved/taken up by the typical IB>PE and S&T guys but was wondering if anyone had some insight into similar stories or just some advice on how to break in from my position, anything is appreciated.

L/S at a MF? What does this even mean? I think you might struggle to get a L/S equity gig at KKR.

LO equity analysts are frequently hired by MMs for L/S.

 

Lol, was a little confused for a sec. But thank you for the insight, I got surprising piece of mind from that.

I’m assuming special sits or even event driven in general would be extremely difficult unless having the background?

Ullam veniam illo officia esse aliquam ut. A eos nihil quaerat quam. Non quia eos reprehenderit modi inventore. Culpa eum nihil ut ut. Possimus omnis illum sit reprehenderit.
