Good hedge fund, bad PM

Guys, am welcoming advice from anyone who may have been in a similar situation at a hedge fund. Joined 9-10 months ago at a very good shop. Working with a single PM only who is basically not mentoring at all and treats me like ... bottom line: I consider investing a long-term career, just working with the wrong PM it seems. What would you do? Appreciate it.

Learn what you can from your PM, but try to get to know/work with/learn from the other people at the firm that are presumably the reason you're calling it a good shop. Try to transfer/change the reporting structure if you can. If it's a single-manager shop or not the kind of place that enables you to get to know anyone outside your pod, maybe it's not so great after all. Look for another job.
