HYPS freshman - How to get to Tiger Cub Fund
I'm a freshman at a HYPS school studying econ and CS. What's the best way to optimize for a Tiger Cub fund and also make a fuck ton of money. Tiger Global would be ideal--I heard talks that Tiger was hiring someone from my school directly out of undergrad but Idk how true that is. What's the ideal path? IB? Consulting? PE? B school?
Best bet is to go HYP --> GS --> KKR / APO / SLP / WP --> Tiger
I have a friend who's graduating from my school who's going straight to KKR, is it worth doing GS or, if the options available, just skip to PE
KKR is good to skip to
I got you bro, here’s the formula:
Kids these fucking days.
From someone who went from HYPS directly to top buyside and was also an insufferably cocky freshman once upon a time - you’re gonna get fucking humbled
The market tends to have that effect on people. Exhibit A below:
Really curious about this. What top buyside firm hires straight out of undergrad?
Silver lake, KKR, Blackstone, Ares, Matrix, Bridgewater, Weiss, Farallon, DE Shaw, Citadel, P72, Blackrock, Fidelity, PIMCO, Cap Group, Bain Cap, Vista Equity, and many many more…
I hate this post with a passion but I’ll bite…
If ur at HYPS then u need to impress those guys at Matrix.
Matrix Capital Management?
no just Matrix. founders name is morpheus
why matrix?
imagine in 20 years when someone will comment "this aged well" after Tiger Cubs become not so hip.
This aged well
A few MF PE firms, such as Blackstone, KKR, Warburg Pincus, Bain Capital, and Silver Lake, offer analyst programs and directly hire undergraduates. This is the optimal route if the ultimate target is Tiger Cubs or equivalent SM HFs.Weiss, Matrix, Baupost, and (potential) Abdiel are among the few outstanding SM HFs with a history of recruiting exceptional HYPS graduates. The Long/Short Equity group at D.E. Shaw is also fantastic.Outliers do exist; for instance, a recent Stanford graduate who studied computer science and statistics joined Tiger Global this year, and he is an investment genius.
The Stanford kid prob wanted Sequoia or a16z but had to settle for Tiger Cub.
Do you personally know this Stanford kid or are you saying he's a genius by virtue of working at TIger out of undergrad.
Lol at Abdiel, they’ll probably wind down by the time this kid graduates. 5bn AUM -> 1.5bn in a year.
