Global Macro HF Hiring London 2025

Been posting this numerous times however struggling to get any responses about this.

From the large profits made from the US election outcome, as well as the ongoing geopolitical volatility and Trade Tariffs, will these macro hedge funds based in London be looking to expand and recruit more junior talent?

Seems 2024 was a year of recouping losses after a weak 2023 due to misjudged Fed rate bets in Q1 2023 which has meant hiring has been slow.

Now hedge funds seem to be performing better, is this actually a sign that recruitment in 2025 will actually pick up at the junior levels?

Any advice from anyone who has any insight would be massively appreciated.
