Tips for IBD analyst / associate starting in a L/S equity HF
As per the title – there is a lot of content on WSO about getting a hedge fund seat, but much less on what to do in your first ~3 months after landing the role in order to set yourself up for success.
I would be interested in hearing views from people on the buyside about how a junior coming from IBD (2-3 years of experience) can ramp up quickly and build an effective setup in a L/S equity analyst role. Any perspectives specific to Tiger Cub platforms and tech-focused L/S funds would be much appreciated. Some guiding questions below:
- What habits / routines / activities would you recommend putting in place from day one that you wish you had thought about earlier in your career?
- Any advice from former IBD analysts based on your own transition experience?
- Any advice from senior HF folks on what sets apart ex-IBD analysts who ramp well from those who struggle?
Thank you.
