Is doing an unpaid hf internship worth it? Definitely interested in fundamental public market investing and want to pursue it long-term, but I am concerned about the unpaid nature of the job. The firm looks legit.

If it’s actually legit, then 100% worth it
Wonderful, thanks
Check 13-F, if they have AUM, go for it. Maybe you can ask them to pay for your transportation?
Very helpful, thanks. Also, for this type of position, do you think it is better to write equity research or hedge fund analyst intern on your resume?
Depends role you’re applying for - for IB - HF, for ER - ER.
Interesting, mind explaining why? Assuming this info, I would put HF intern when applying to bigger and more well knowned HF?
People would ask why you aren’t applying to ER at their bank rather than IB. HF is an exit from IB, ER is very very uncommon from IB. So they would assume that if you did HF you worked with people that did IB
Gotcha, so should I put HF intern when I apply to HFs?
