Hedge Fund LinkedIn Review

“My meeting with Kevin Lee was super helpful and went well beyond what I originally expected. We met to discuss my LinkedIn profile, but the conversation also covered the hedge fund space and how I’m thinking about my career as a whole. I really appreciated being able to talk about both how I present myself professionally and the broader direction I want to take. As someone interested in hedge funds but also exploring other paths in finance, it was helpful to have a conversation that connected my profile to my actual interests and goals. Kevin gave me a lot to think about, and I left feeling clearer about my next steps. Overall, I really appreciated his time and willingness to go beyond the original purpose of our meeting.”

Hedge Fund Mock Interview

“He was very responsive and prepared for the meeting. He actually read the JD, resume, and looked up linkedin which sometimes other mentors doesn't actually go over those to prepare things beforehand. I appreciate his direct comments I think it saved time and actually helped me to know exactly where to improve. I also appreciated him admitting if he doesn't know about specific HF strategy. Only thing I'd suggest for him is probably sending actionable key takeaways after the meeting because other mentors did and that was very helpful. ”

I've interviewed with Lapides. They seem like a nice group. Very research-focused - must visit every investment on-site. Specialize in small cap value

My process was for an internship and I was also out of the country during the interview process, so it might be a little different. Regardless here was my experience:

First round interview: Video chat with VP of Client Relations (recruiter) & COO - Simple behavioral round. Main focus on why the firm and passion for investing.
Second and final round: Video chat with CEO (would be in-person) - Barely any technicals. He really just wants to know passion for investing and eagerness to learn.

The interview process was not very difficult nor did it seem selective. That was a slight red flag for me.

Pay was very low. Well below street. I would assume an entry level position would probably be around 50-60k. Yet, you also break into a HF out of school.
