Newb MM HF Question

Pretty far long in the process with a MM HF for a senior analyst role. Not from the MM or HF world so would appreciate any insight for why I’d have a meeting set up with business development? Appreciate advice from the “experts” but informed speculation welcomed too!

My experience with a few biz dev teams has generally been a mix of fit, investment philosophy, process and COVERAGE UNIVERSE. They just want to know which sub sector to pin me down into so they can hit me up if there’s a need there.

The biz dev interview I had after a few rounds into a process was much more fit, check the box since the PM/hiring manager was already on board.

Given your description, I’d guess it’s more of the latter. FYI: my experience was for equities as a mid-level analyst.

 

Tempore sunt est rerum quos ut ut reiciendis quibusdam. Mollitia quos sint debitis ullam reiciendis. Modi vel repellat ea unde. Nulla facere id voluptate iusto eos aut.

just google it...you're welcome
