In the UK, nonexistent now
Was getting multiple emails from recruiters for New York/ LA based private credit roles a few months ago but now it is absolutely dead..
It’s very active in the macro universe.
do you get the sense that HFs are hiring just because of recent success or are actually investing in teams?
Dead.
equity feels dead
Any idea about credit? Was getting inbounds earlier this year but feels a bit dead now
a bit surprising that equity's dead after a lot of HFs having banner years
Fundraising is painfully slow and most funds are still below HWM.
Banner years in more macro and low frequency firms (weeks to months holding periods). HFT and shorter holding period strategies had a below average year given the lower volumes and less vol.
It’s about as hot as the 9th circle of hell
As of late Feb - in my experience and from what I've heard:
MM = as you'd expect (particularly at the big 3)
SM = relatively quiet
Complete newbie here, what do you mean as you expect for MM? Is it very active in Feb?
They tend to always be hiring due to the high turnover.
