Pre-MBA HF Internship

I got into H/S deferred program and it’s coming up. I’ve done the typical IB + PE route at well regarded firms. I know that post mba I either want to work at a HF or late stage VC doing tech investing and think doing an internship in both will help me narrow it down. Since I haven’t seen a pre-mba late stage VC internship been done before, I want to do it for a HF. Does anyone know how to go about finding these opportunities? I saw that it’s been done before for HFs. If not, maybe I’ll just gun for a crossover internship instead, but those teams tend to be split publics vs privates and I prefer NY over SF too.

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. ”
