Any updated views on ExodusPoint vs P72, Baly, Citadel, MLP? Performance has been weaker since launch and fundamental equities has been pretty poor per news reports? Better to move to other pod shops as a junior (analyst)?

Is this for US or EM? From what I know and heard, on the EM side they have better drawdown and more upward mobility. Which is probably why you can see a lot of young PMs in their EM offices. So in my opinion, you would probably get a seat at the risk table sooner if you choose ExP especially in EM.
But, you have to remember that ExP is primarily a macro fund. Of course their fundamental equities team is poor, because that is not where their best talent is concentrated. I would say, if you want to do equities long term, Big 4 certainly has better talent there, where you can learn and grow as an analyst. Even if you a become a PM fast, a PM who doesn't post numbers would just be a burden to these firms anyways.
Final verdict would be, Big 4, especially P72 & Citadel as in their case the fundamentals team is their bread and butter. If you want to do FI & Macro in the long run, then ExP is a better choice, the grass isn't as green but the cows are really smart.
I think on the fixed income / credit / macro side there are some really smart people that are proven money makers.
what are risk limits there like? basically MLP but tighter?
Other way around, basically MLP but more liberal. They had to do it to poach talent, not sure how long it’ll last.
