Bloomberg Access / IT at the job

I recently interviewed at a sizable long short fundamental SM shop (450mm) and noticed all the investment professionals had their own computers typing notes during my interview. But I think they also had full desktops / Bloomberg at their desks. What is standard at long short fundamental hedge funds these days? Does everyone have their own Bloomberg? Do hedge funds ask employees to bring their own laptops? I imagine mm shops give all of their junior guys there own Bloombergs as well rather than using factset? Dumb question but just wondering as I am coming from banking.

Hedge Fund LinkedIn Review

“My meeting with Kevin Lee was super helpful and went well beyond what I originally expected. We met to discuss my LinkedIn profile, but the conversation also covered the hedge fund space and how I’m thinking about my career as a whole. I really appreciated being able to talk about both how I present myself professionally and the broader direction I want to take. As someone interested in hedge funds but also exploring other paths in finance, it was helpful to have a conversation that connected my profile to my actual interests and goals. Kevin gave me a lot to think about, and I left feeling clearer about my next steps. Overall, I really appreciated his time and willingness to go beyond the original purpose of our meeting.”

Hedge Fund Mock Interview

“He was very responsive and prepared for the meeting. He actually read the JD, resume, and looked up linkedin which sometimes other mentors doesn't actually go over those to prepare things beforehand. I appreciate his direct comments I think it saved time and actually helped me to know exactly where to improve. I also appreciated him admitting if he doesn't know about specific HF strategy. Only thing I'd suggest for him is probably sending actionable key takeaways after the meeting because other mentors did and that was very helpful. ”
