Lubyankahey guys,

have a phone call with a headhunter for HF's coming up. what should i expect? questions about my story, why xx bank etc? what do they want to hear?

thx

Be able to talk about your investing style and how that fits with the types of funds you are targeting. Know your immediate goals and plans and have conviction on your geography. Have good answers for why you left each job if you've left them, and have references ready to go that they can contact.

They basically want to hear you know what you are doing, and you'll show well for the funds they put you in front of.

I prepped a few investment ideas as well to bring along as sample work product.

Good luck!

if you like it then you shoulda put a banana on it
