Breaking into Hedge Fund as Rx IB VP
Hi all,
Could use some advice on breaking into the HF industry at my level. I started my career as an analyst and am now a VP at a restructuring investment bank (mostly through a few lateral promotions). I'm now 7 years into my career and have only done sell-side M&A and Rx advisory. I know I am late to the game. I started following the markets and have become interested in pursuing a career in public equities or credit (L/S, L/O, merger / convertible arb). Do I have a chance of breaking in or is the real path doing an MBA to break into a HF at this stage in my career? Any and all advice is appreciated.
i got into value investors club as a VP in banking and that helped when I thought about going this route
that said my impression is that this is an uphill climb. they (correctly) thought Id be less enthusiastic about doing tons of grunt work at this stage of my career
