Capstone Investment Advisors

Hi, I'm currently interviewing at Capstone Investment Advisors and am reaching the end stage of the process. I was a bit shocked by the amount they pay interns in NYC (35 dollars per hour). It doesn't seem like they pay full-time analysts much more either. H1B salary websites say it's around 80k. The company seems solid otherwise and has been around for a while. Is most of the salary in bonuses? Or do they only pay the senior employees well? Does anyone know what's going on at the firm?

Is it even worth considering compared to a role at a BB?

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. ”
