I'm pretty meh at maths (don't really know a ton beyond AP equiv maths) and got a SA offer at an L/S HF.
Being numerically comfortable is essential but that doesn't mean you need to be especially good at maths as a whole.
This is for discretionary L/S equity. Macro strats and obviously, quant ones, regardless if they're discretionary or systematic will require higher levels of maths education.
