I like to believe that this is a reasonable barometer to see if you'll make a good analyst. Little information, big decision.
touche, except this info isnt public
A lot of it is 2 phone calls away. Also, what kind of PM doesn't tell you where he worked most recently? That should tell you a lot in itself.
Just ask. What has been the historic track record of the PM? How big is the book? What is the target pnl every year? If the PM was at another shop and switched, why did he make that switch? These are pretty standard questions to ask in an interview, and it’s a red flag if they don’t answer at least in a directional way
yea i asked and was told its confidential where they came from
sounds like bs/red flag as mentioned
yea i didnt get to ask about pnl specific and esp since they didnt share about background and are in "book building mode" figured i wouldnt get a reply (should have pressed more tho just didnt get the chance. def will if there is a next round)
