Looking to break into a shop in SoCal, and I’m confident that my background, skill set, and interest are well suited for a HF (especially after talking to a couple buddies in the space).
What’s the best game plan to get my foot in the door for some opportunities? By way of background, have a JD/MBA (HSW), then worked at McKinsey and now at a MM PE fund.
Thanks fellas!
Hey, I had a pretty similar background but without the masters degrees. Just reach out to the headhunters and get the search going. Pretty standard process - reach out to headhunters, explain your story + why you want to move to HF/publics, and generally what kinds of funds you'd be interested in. And then just start interviewing. Getting interviews shouldn't really be a problem....
Question for you:
I have a similar background (IB, PE, then ran distressed family business). Want to switch over to HFs and I know I'd be a good fit somewhere as I am extremely passionate about the markets, trade actively, research constantly, and follow them closely. When sending resume out headhunters to schedule an initial call / meet; should I include trading experience in personal account (actively managing ~250k; started 3 years ago; ~40% compounded annual returns). I ask because my resume as it currently stands does not have any public investing experience and I'm not sure if adding personal trading experience will help or hurt (by making me look amateurish). Would really appreciate any help / perspective. Thank you!
Thanks. Would you mind sending me a DM? Would love to chat further (Which recruiters to target, etc.).
