Pitching ideas as a jr analyst
As an analyst who joins an HF working for another senior analyst/MD (without trading discretion) who then reports to a true PM, are you "allowed" to pitch ideas to PMs directly or do you have to go through the senior analyst first?
What happens if they shoot down your idea and you think it is great - is there a political aspect of going to the PM directly and bypassing your boss? I can see this backfiring especially if the PM doesn't like the idea and you have alienated both the PM and the sr analyst, but seems this can be very difficult/frustrating if you really believe in the idea. On the flip side, if the PM loves the idea and it works, it may further undermine the relationship with the senior analyst. Anecdotally have heard this happen to friends of mine.
Similar follow up question, how would sizing decisions work here? For example you would like to trim/add/exit to an idea (eg. had a channel check +/- on a name into the quarter), but the sr analyst disagrees on flagging the datapt to the PM and the same awkward dynamics apply.
