Fastest Way to MMHF?
I'm currently an IB SA at a top MM, and I recently found out most of the brand name MMHFs have already started recruiting for 2027 full time. A lot are wrapping up processes or well underway, so I figured it might not be the best use of my time shooting for HF full time.
My question is, when's the earliest I can leave IB before pivoting to a MMHF? I honestly dislike my summer so far (ik just started), but it's very monotonous busy work that feels pretty pointless. I'm in a coverage group, and learning the insights and looking at the models are genuinely interesting however. Nevertheless, I don't really want to stay in IB, and I'm beating myself up for not at least giving a shot for full time recruiting for the major programs to HFs.
When you’re ready to move, there’s no set timeline.
I understand, but just speaking in a realistic lens assuming ample preparation is made, when is the earliest one can leave to a HF from IB?
you interview until one hires you? like whats the question here, theres no rules
Oh ok I see. So in theory, interviewing as soon as u hit the desk full time IB is a possibility
lol you sound extremely insecure regarding uncertainty. If so then public equities are not for you my man
Tbh I am pretty insecure about uncertainty, but I can accept uncertainty when there's no alternative. However, in a case like this where there are people who've trodden the path before, I merely wanted to get a better understanding of the possible ways to break in
Smash the window and break in. There you go, that’s the path.
(People who are bad with making decisions under uncertainty suffer terribly in public markets. Inquire deep within yourself on this, nothing is more important.)
Fair enough. I do have OCD, but I'm pretty cognizant of when it starts affecting my judgment. What you said is understandable, but it really is interesting keeping up with the markets and collective conscience of the public, so I don't want this trait of mine to be what deters me (maybe that's wishful thinking, but I still want it)
