IB as an Intermediary Step
Hello!
I've been told that getting into IB is the best thing to do because of the exit ops. I'm currently a freshman and I want to get into hedge funds but I know it's super hard. The current path that I want to take is to go into IB for two years out of undergrad, then get an MBA. Should I be looking at a PhD instead? What should I be doing as an undergrad to set myself up in an optimal way?
Thanks!
Hey Who is John Galt, I'm here to break the silence...any of these links help you?:
I hope those threads give you a bit more insight.
If you know you want to do hedge funds in advance, you can try to get a hedge fund gig right out of undergrad. There are a few large firms that now have undergrad programs: - Point72 (Analyst Program) - Tudor - AQR (QR) - Two Sigma (QR) - Citadel (QR) - Bridgewater - D. E. Shaw (QR, Analyst Program) - Rentec (QR) There are probably at least a few firms that resonate with strategies you want to be working in. Getting in is not easy, but IB isn't the only path to the buyside.
Thanks whitewalker!
I'll check out the opportunities there. Definitely gonna modify my course of action now. :)
