Which Hedge Funds Recruit At Stanford GSB?

Stories of Which HF's recruit there? Also interested in outcomes. 

Supposedly it's the best, or 2nd best MBA program. Curious if GSB gets opportunities that aren't available at Wharton or HBS. Highly doubt it, but all stories are welcome.

The thing about HF recruiting is that a lot of it is done off campus. Some big HF recruit on campus but most chose to use headhunters. Much of the recruiting is done late and off cycle.

That being said, if you have the right background HF will certainly hire out of GSB. Especially west coast firms. The issue with Stanford GSB and HF recruiting is that people from GSB don't really go to wall St. I'd bet the most popular "buyside" job there is VC.
