PM blowouts - how to get in as a replacement

a bunch of pod firms have fired lots of PMs recently for large losses...lots of rates relative value and others.

what are these firms looking for in terms of hiring PMs to replace those who were just fired?

they will probably hire dudes who have blown up at other MMs or poach from bank trading desk.

cynical but true. Lots of people recycle through MMs.

I used to do Asia-Pacific PE (kind of like FoF). Now I do something else but happy to try and answer questions on that stuff.
