Hi,
I am a junior at a small liberal arts college in Wisconsin and I worked at a European hedge fund this summer (+1B AUM), doing front office execution trading & FX hedging. I also manage money for my family (couple of hundred thousand in a book).
I was wondering what you guys think — should I go to a bigger equity HF or do S&T at a BB bank? Thanks!
