As a second year sell-side FI trader, I'm looking for some insight on what a hedge fund trading role actually looks like. Equity vs Credit vs Whatever else. I'm sure the physical job appears similar if I were to watch you perform said job, but I'm interested more in the details. Would love to see responses on the following. Thanks in advance
1. Equity or Credit? Both?
2. Fund size? (ballpark)
3. YOE?
4. IB or S&T background? or Other?
5. Follow-up to (1), do many traders trade both the equity and the credit if they're focused in relatively liquid markets? Or would multiple specialized traders communicate on a certain trade/strategy and then execute it? I'm guessing this depends on fund size/org/culture/ect.
6. Are there actually hedge fund traders consistently pulling $1mm+ comp?
7. Where is the line between trader and quant these days? Are there teams of tech/quants who support traders? This seems to be a grey area that is highly firm/people dependent.
8. Addition to (6 & 7), can someone break down the org structure of a typical Equity or Credit HF? Highlight what the team looks like and how much depth there is. Is there one PM who covers a team focused in certain areas? Analysts/Juniors/Seniors, who calls the shots, ect..
Thanks
