Differences in prep for pods vs SMs?
Currently in IB and looking to jump to HF. Think I want to go pod, but a lot of the advice here seems SM oriented. Is it just the standard long and short stock pitches you have to prepare? How would the catalyst/time frame for the pitches be different? Will you only get interviews from pods in the same sector as your IB coverage and do you have to tailor the pitch to each PM?
The prep is the same for all - though it’s always good to tweak your delivery and story toward whichever whatever firm you’re interviewing with - which just means having an answer for (1) Why you’re so Set on MM and a different answer for (2) why you’re so set on SM
This question just checks if you know what’s different about the firm in question - everyone knows it’s BS. Network call and ask the people what’s unique about their firm and why they chose their model. Then when they ask you why you loooove their model - say those things back to them.
If you do a case for a SM maybe it’s a deck with more focus on 3 yr but some discussion of short term, same pitch for MM maybe it’s a 1-pager with a bit more focus on ‘why now’ and ‘why this one vs closest peers in the sector’. But a good pitch will be the same - timely and fundamentally sound, compelling relative & absolute upside. And you should be able to speak to both. It just helps to deliver it in a way that sounds more familiar to the firm you’re speaking to, to trigger the ‘he gets what we do here’ feeling.
