Thoughts on Millennium?

Just got an email that I'm moving to the next round of interviews. First interview was just a little bit of fit questions blended with a thorough investment process explanation. I have no idea what to expect, but probably it's going to be extremely grilling. I've been preparing for this for +2 years now so I'm hoping it goes well.

As of 2022, anyone is aware of the fund's culture/pay? I know I should expect grueling work from a pod but how intense? I also heard they dispose of analysts quickly so would appreciate any insight on that.

They have done a few things to expand their strategies and add new pods in the last year. One was creating a SrPM/PM breakout and two was moving some funds to 3yr lockups vs 1yr lockups. The lockup change was behind aggressive fundraising so they are fully in growth mode.

Basically market neutral strategies working and they see these years as growth time.

Assume your first call was just with BD people assume next one will be with SrPM. So yes grilling coming. Feel free to ask PM all culture questions you got or so as always good to get that stuff out of the way early.

 

Thanks for your input.

It was 2 BD people and a PM. I thought they'd call separately for the first round tbh. Do you have any idea whether they really do dispose of their analysts pretty quickly? I've heard it more than once and it seems childish. Just want to verify.

 

Okay, PM probably was just wanting to listen in typically its just BD. But PM listening in means this is a very active search and hiring asap.

Most pods have 2 years of run-room and many do not last 3 years. Analysts even less, so absolutely this is a risk that said I have heard word of near 1 year garden leave/non-competes  being floated so understand not their intention to do that just way pod performance world works. Feel free to ask PM how he/she sees the opportunity its a fair question cause again wont lie most people structure their contracts for 3 years of run room.

 

Did you have to do a coding round? Heard there was a coding round for many of the roles there but hard to find much info about it online.

From the culture they are a pod-shop, you will work closely with your team but other pods might as well be working in a different hedge fund, no sharing trade idea’s/thoughts.

Also heard if a PM is let go they will try to rehouse the analysts in another team, so could have a bit of job security lower down, though changes once you become a risk taker then you are completely by yourself.
