Hedge Fund Skillset & Day-to-Day
I have been working in investment banking for a couple of years and I am interested in exploring the possibility of working at a HF. I don't know a lot about what the role truly entails, as I'm just in the beginning stages of searching for new opportunities.
I wanted to ask what the day to day is generally like and what skillsets are required to get a role in one. I've seen peers from primarily S&T and RX IB land roles but was wondering if you're generic generalist from a MM IB firm would have the right skillset.
Also, are there multiple types of HF roles? Are there research-oriented roles vs investing-oriented roles? Would I need to be a markets guru? Do I need to be a quantitative wizard?
Most importantly, do you feel relatively content / fulfilled in your role, or do you find it to be boring / tedious?
Bumping
Also bumping. I will add however though that skillset is very heavily dependent on the funds strategy. If it is a quant fund then you need pure math and back end programming (c++, python etc.) and those people are usually not former i bankers. If it is Macro you are dealing with rates / FX that sort of thing so they will take traders that understand macroeconomics, inflation, GDP, yield curve.
