Incoming FT 2021

Hey, college senior here who'll be starting FT at a NYC-based hedge fund (event-driven).

I've heard a lot about the work environment at HFs being much quieter/older (with way smaller classes) so thought it'd be cool to link with other seniors in the same boat as me. If there's enough of us, I could make a group chat like some of the IB programs do.

Was primarily thinking NYC since we could meet up and share 'the analyst experience' but would love to hear from anyone. PM me if interested!
