Chances to work at a HF with my profile

Hi all

My objective is to work at a HF (preferably as a trader but I am open to start at any other position in order to break into the field). Here's my profile:

  • Will graduate in 2020
  • MSc Finance from a European target school
  • 2 summer internships (2017, 2019) at M&A boutiques

How likely do you think it is that I will get accepted to work at a HF? I have the possibility to take an additional degree in advanced math (2 more years). Would that be worth it? Thanks!
