IB -> HF
Rising junior, SA offer at a top BB (GS/JPM/MS), NY. Long-term goal is fundamental L/S equity — single-manager over pod, though open to either.
Two questions:
- Group choice. Ranking groups in a few months. Is a sector coverage group (TMT, healthcare) meaningfully better positioning for L/S than a coverage group (M&A, etc.), given funds hire by sector? Or does M&A generalist reputation carry enough that it doesn't matter at the analyst level?
- Prep between now and then. I've been involved with my school's fund, running personal pitches/accounts, and participating where I can in public markets (research, VIC, etc.). Beyond that, what actually moves the needle?
Aware that HF recruiting is less structured than PE and more about being ready when a seat opens. Mostly trying to figure out what "ready" looks like two years out. Thanks!
Following. Also curious if possible to leave after 1 year rather than doing the full 2

There are a quite a few threads on this, or each individual bit of this post, already. I’d have a look at some of the older threads.
