bridgewater only cares about macro. Very top down idk what you are saying. They also invest in rates and FX products. Credit is a macro tool for them. To OPs question, LinkedIn has two people who went to Element and Citadel GFI, but both had 7+ years of exp. Likely you can only make the move once you are in a risk taking position, which takes a long time/can never happen at bridgewater.
