MM L/S Internship -> Macro Fund/Pod
I signed an internship offer for this summer at a top MM in L/S equity, and I intend on trying my best during the program. However, I have always been a more quantitative person (majoring in math and CS). I recently came across rates trading, and I think I'm better cut out for macro of some sort.
Given this background, I'm wondering how I can get into a macro role in the future. I know a lot of people start in trading at BBs, but how do I land one of those roles full time without having done an internship? Is it also possible to get into a macro fund/pod directly?
I know people who have received offers from citadel GFI alongside specific teams at Brevan Howard, Bluecrest and other macro shops out of school. They usually went to a top school and were (very) good at their degrees (usually something quantitative or econ) and could code. They usually had some prior experience at a fund or BB S&T SA. Very reliant on networking.
If you’re doing P72 SA, there are people who have done the academy and ultimately placed in a macro pod (usually credit)
Got it thanks man
Is it doable to get a BB s&t offer without an internship there? Is it networking-based
Do you generally think the grad programme at Brevan Howard is worth it? In terms of how the training compares to starting at a BB at a good desk? Also how did your friends handle recruiting if they did SA somewhere else, did they turn the return offers down or how did they manage it timeline wise?
also curious
