Career Resources
Uhh, what? Research at HF (e.g. research analyst, jr analyst, 'investment" analyst), usually is an "investing" role.
There are some positions out there where you support an analyst but don't cover positions/make the direct investing decisions.
You've just described the majority of HF positions. Most funds will have several research analysts supporting a portfolio manager who actually pulls the trigger. Also not all analysts become PMs, though this is not necessarily a bad thing.
There are plenty of career analysts out there who have zero aspirations of becoming a PM.
I think OP wants to know when the fund manager will give him a bln $ to play with.
Sorry for the confusion guys, but I'm specifically talking about a role where you'd basically be supporting the analysts who support the PM... and where one day if you're good enough, you'd become one of the analysts supporting the PM.
