Please Help! I need all the help I can get. Thank you SOOO much!!!

I have an interview with a mid-sized HF(200 mm)scheduled for tomorrow. I am in banking for less than a year and from a libral arts background. Can anyone tell me how technical the interviews at HF get? How should I effectively prepare for it in such a short period of time? I am still a newbie in the HF industry so any help or insight would be GREATLY appreciated!

He also made sure he unerstood my responsibilities and achievement so that no important details were missed. Communication was excelled, he responded very quickly, updating my CV withiin just a few hours. The final result was clear, professional, and well tailored to my experience and profile. Ready to submit it. ”

Hedge Fund Mock Coffee Chat

“Great chat. Sounds very kind. Starting off, showed up a bit late (5mins) but stayed overtime to make up for it. Session was on networking and making it work. He gave 5 tips on having coffee chats and making them more bearable: have them talk about themselves, try and prepare talking point for this that are also informative for you and shows that you have put thought into this chat. If it is physical, make sure your body language is inviting. Have an ask and this would give the chat purpose and a map to follow to. The questions that follow this would be simple and open. We also talked about networking reachouts and how to do them, he gave a template and tips on that as well.”
