HF Idiot

So through a family connection I have a sit down with an ex street guy who's running regional HF here in CO. It's a small shop but apparently they have 1B+ AMU and are picking up clients left and right. I was looking to start a tech start up after school so I wasn't really seeking a HF position out, so I don't know if this would be the best use of my time. Plus I don't know hardly anything about hf (any threads or whatever on hf 101 would be great too), but one of their new guys (apparently) turned down a 500k base offer from GS to come out here and work so I feel like I would be dumb not to pursue it. Please forgive my naive, just looking for some thoughts. Oh and if I'm leaving out important hf info sorry thats all the info I've got.

Thanks
