Please. You’re an intern. Just because you can’t make money in your PA as a 22 year old doesn’t mean you’ll do horrible on the job. You basically don’t know anything but you’ll learn a lot in the first 18 months.
On a side note, this is pretty cringe and I believe CAP is a small program, you may want to delete this…have many friends at Citadel and they all talk.
Yeah. I don’t know what I don’t know. That’s why I’m coming here for advice and guidance.

Thanks for the advice. How successful have you been getting feedback/interviews from sending pitches to analysts? Always wondered whether they even give you the time of day to consider your pitch.

Bro honestly I think you’d be better cut out for MFPE because it seems like you are a very risk averse person and the HF industry has a lot more risk in it naturally compared to the PE industry. MFPE long term probably has the higher average value of return for the average person compared to a hedge fund. It’s also true that ur being a pussy tbh and that you def have the skills to be successful, but if ur pissing ur pants about being a successful analyst I don’t know how you can see yourself as a PM in the future
Don’t be scared. You learn as you go. You don’t need to come from wealth to enter or make it in this industry. I was in 100k in debt from student loans, my college was expensive and my parents only paid half. The loans are paid off. I have a good life and make a shit of money. The work isn’t easy, you have to stay up to date on market trends and constantly educate yourself. But people do it. You have to want it and be interested and dedicated to it. You’ll be fine if this is what you want
