Likelihood of getting an internship through emailing PM at big funds.

I'm a sophomore at non-HYP target (think Columbia, Dartmouth, etc.,) trying to get ready for junior summer.

I secured my soph-summer job at megafunds (think KKR, Carlyle, CVC Capital) in my home country in Asia as a PE analyst and had multiple jobs in McKinsey and Hedge fund that value invests.

I really do hope to get an investment analyst job at top notch fund straight out of undergrad and thinking of getting an junior internship at those places might help me to get there. So,,

I was wondering if I emailed to PMs at top notch funds (focus on school Alums), how likely am I to get a job I want.

Thanks,

Hedge Fund LinkedIn Review

“My meeting with Kevin Lee was super helpful and went well beyond what I originally expected. We met to discuss my LinkedIn profile, but the conversation also covered the hedge fund space and how I’m thinking about my career as a whole. I really appreciated being able to talk about both how I present myself professionally and the broader direction I want to take. As someone interested in hedge funds but also exploring other paths in finance, it was helpful to have a conversation that connected my profile to my actual interests and goals. Kevin gave me a lot to think about, and I left feeling clearer about my next steps. Overall, I really appreciated his time and willingness to go beyond the original purpose of our meeting.”

Hedge Fund Mock Interview

“He was very responsive and prepared for the meeting. He actually read the JD, resume, and looked up linkedin which sometimes other mentors doesn't actually go over those to prepare things beforehand. I appreciate his direct comments I think it saved time and actually helped me to know exactly where to improve. I also appreciated him admitting if he doesn't know about specific HF strategy. Only thing I'd suggest for him is probably sending actionable key takeaways after the meeting because other mentors did and that was very helpful. ”
