Career Pivot to Hedge Fund/Markets Path?
Current role provides exposure to institutional clients, balance sheets, and financing structures, but limited direct involvement in trading, investing, or pricing risk. It's heavy on admin / relationship management.
I’m trying to understand the most effective path from corp banking coverage into markets roles.
Specific questions:
How feasible is it to move internally from corporate banking into markets desks (rates, FX, credit, repo, etc.)?What roles are the most common stepping stones into hedge funds from banking coverage roles?What skills or experiences make candidates from coverage backgrounds competitive for these roles?What is an appropriate amount of time to stay in this position before applying?
Appreciate any perspectives from those who’ve seen or made this transition.
