Practical Advice on Getting into MMHF

I am currently an IB analyst in BB at a non-modelling heavy group. I am trying to make a transition to ER/M&A as a steppjng stone, but it’s tough given the current job market condition.

I was wondering if any folks who have successfully break in MMHF can share what they did and what are the process to hone technicals.

Do you guys manage a personal porfolio of stocks, where you invest and try to gauge next quarter earnings?

What kind of resources do you read on daily basis?

Any advice on how to nail case studies in MM interviews?

Apologies for my ignorance, but I would appreciate any insights shared. Thanks a lot.

Hedge Fund LinkedIn Review

“My meeting with Kevin Lee was super helpful and went well beyond what I originally expected. We met to discuss my LinkedIn profile, but the conversation also covered the hedge fund space and how I’m thinking about my career as a whole. I really appreciated being able to talk about both how I present myself professionally and the broader direction I want to take. As someone interested in hedge funds but also exploring other paths in finance, it was helpful to have a conversation that connected my profile to my actual interests and goals. Kevin gave me a lot to think about, and I left feeling clearer about my next steps. Overall, I really appreciated his time and willingness to go beyond the original purpose of our meeting.”

Hedge Fund Mock Interview

“He was very responsive and prepared for the meeting. He actually read the JD, resume, and looked up linkedin which sometimes other mentors doesn't actually go over those to prepare things beforehand. I appreciate his direct comments I think it saved time and actually helped me to know exactly where to improve. I also appreciated him admitting if he doesn't know about specific HF strategy. Only thing I'd suggest for him is probably sending actionable key takeaways after the meeting because other mentors did and that was very helpful. ”
