Starting HF Career - Best Place for Mentorship?
Leaving MF PE after 2 years and am very interested in doing public markets. Short-term comp, prestige, etc. is not a factor at this stage in my career, and mentorship is what I care the most about. If you were starting your career from scratch in the public markets, where would you go to learn, and how would you find these names?
I am worried the SM HFs everyone talks about on here will be more of the same as MFPE (mostly politics, hard to measure individual performance, bloat), and I have already made that mistake once. I have been primarily considering pods (backdooring w/ friends at platforms to find long-standing PMs with good reputations and open to mentorship) and first-time spinoffs from these larger SMs. Also have heard mixed reviews on multi-strats.
Very curious to hear opinions and thanks everyone in advance. If any monkeys in IB are thinking about making the switch to PE, let me know via DM and happy to provide my experience so far.

Unironically, is this still a good path? Know they are doing a search right now. I heard about their L1/3/10 year returns recently…sounds like things may be tough?
Viking will shutter in the decade if anyone wants to bet lmk
Consider the training programs, if mentorship is a priority.
I'm currently starting my own fund and looking for investors. I worked at a couple of SM Hedge Funds and do know a couple people in the MM space. If you're interested I can give you my pitch and my experience in the HF space. I'm just starting out so my minimnum investment is $25K but i'd be happy just to make another connection in the industry.
