Bridgewater Questions

Hey all,

Just a few questions...

Anyone have any current thoughts on Bridgewater? With respect to full time offers how does bridgewater compare to an offer at a tier 1 Investment bank? What does an investment associate at Bridgewater actually do, and how does this compare or differ from other types of hedgefunds? i.e. how does this compare to funds like Pershing Square?

Thanks
