I don't know anyone who has made the direct switch between L/S and macro pods but I do know the following that are close-ish:

  • 1 person who worked as an IBD M&A analyst that later became macro strat who could be at a pod know for all I know- caveat did an elite econ PhD in between lmao at how talented you have to to be to succeed at any one of those let alone all
  • Know a person who did IBD/US distressed that later became an EM macro focused PM

    May be more but that's all I know....
