In Need of Help from a Hedge Fund SME

Hi, I'm currently working on a project about the career trajectory of a portfolio manger (essentially career paths after you're reached this milestone). My background is not in finance. I've recently been researching this field, but would ideally like to talk with actual portfolio managers. I will not take up much of your time. I just have a few questions. I'm happy to send you my questions via direct message. If you are willing, and have the time to assist me, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!
