Long-Only Fund Internship
Are long-only mutual funds, like TRP/Fidelity/Wellington, ideal for HF recruiting or are more niche L/S seats preferred?

4 months ago you were a freshman at HYP deciding between a family office and a PE fund. Now you act as if you don’t know the pros of having one of the largest funds on the planet on your resume that’s extremely relevant for a career path you want to pursue?
What sort of clown larps like this… at least make it believable
Read the post. I'm asking about L/S roles vs. long-only and what I should be prioritizing for my intellectual development at this point in my career. I'd like to maintain a little bit of respect for you given that you're clearly an accomplished industry professional, but let's not be so quick to scathe, especially when I wasn't rude at all. Not a larp, man. I've got an offer.
As a junior, having the right base training (modelling and base research skills in your case) and credibility (via a brand name on your resume) goes much further than optimizing for the n+1st step of your career, especially as a freshman.
Take the offer if you truly have it and recruit for a good quality L/S seat for the following summer. If you go to HYP and have TRP on your resume ut will open a lot more doors than having some subscale L/S SM seat.
Thank you for the advice. The reason I guess I was a bit curious was because I haven’t seen many of my upperclassmen friends from my school ever pursue something like this prior to pod shop (they prioritize multi-strats and MM PE funds)—I brought up that I received an offer and most had actually never heard of the job before, so it’s just comforting to hear that it’s looked upon highly by industry professionals.
