Hedge Fund Interview Case Study Debrief - what now?
I am currently interviewing for a pod shop (my first time ever going through this process). Background: IB / PE.
Have been in an interview process for ~2 months. Model test, IQ test, HR meeting, 2 meetings with pm (one general intro, the other to discuss a particular name). Then got assigned a case study and had a debrief this week. The PM and I had different views on the stock assigned to me. In the end I was rushed in my case study prep, but felt comfortable in my thesis directionally but without a very precise answer. While I had a particular view, he had the opposite view given he had more market data on the category as a whole, the performance of new products being launched by this company, and obviously knew this company for years. The overall interview tone was positive and I was very open to his view, asking questions about it and ultimately agreeing with how he was thinking about the stock given the data points he shared.
Do you think it’s possible I move onto the final round even though we had different views of the stock? Curious if anyone has received a job offer despite having different conviction on a stock in a case study vs the PM.
From my experience and from others I know who have gone through the process, having a different view vs the PM on the case study is not ideal. I know it's stupid because there's no right/wrong, but it's just how PMs react. At least you were open to his point of view. How did he close the interview?
“Thanks for putting this together, speak soon” :/
