Can anybody speak on this? Just curious and how it looks relative to SM or LO. Would imagine that MMHF would be the most extroverted due to the inherent need of being scrappy for information.

bunch of nerds for the most part that can't socialize to save their lives e.g. avoid eye contact, no self awareness, rude to mgmt / asking the wrong things to the wrong people (dont ask ceo quarterly model questions), etc.
I can't help it man I need to know what's happening to current quarter's sequential 3-year CAGR momentum to report back to my PM on 2H weighted guidance so he can cancel our weekly sit-down, ignore my idea and day trade EPS MOMO :(
At a big podshop, just me and another analyst and PM so not a lot of talking on a day-to-day. There's occasional sellside events and GLG calls but they're usually spread out, most of my day-to-day is data streams, modelling, building infra, reading broker notes.
My floor is quite quiet, I wouldn't say this is a very extroverted role, even in some of the bigger teams here. Idea generation is just me since my fellow analyst has entirely different coverage so we don't really speak much.
How would you compare it to SM L/S, activism, LO?
I couldn't, I've only worked at MM and did a brief SM stint during college.
Generally, I imagine activism is inherently pretty extroverted given the role and the fact that you're engaging with your counterparts, lawyers/consultants, operators/whatever.
The SM I was at was very collaborative, lower portfolio turnover and more concentrated positions so each idea was vet by more than one analyst and there was a lot of discussion/debate about how things will play out amongst the team.
The project nature of the activism work means you're going to be part of a team working on a deal so ultimately will need to discuss strategy and whatnot. I don't know how prevalent this is at MMs, I've given my experience but really I do my work and talk to my PM every now and then about what I think.
what's your college stats?
