Is something wrong with me?
I am a student who tried to land a buy-side internship. For some reason, I completely failed all Midmarket and UMM funds most often at first round stage.
While for processes at top MFs I often made it to deep rounds or even got an offer.
I'm just wondering whether these processes screen for different things? I felt MMs more often cared about my hobbies and fit and were more judgemental about me. While the better funds were more open-minded and were more critical about my skills.
I have no conventional interests or hobbies and don't really care about many things in life like sports (while I do work out a lot generally I dont follow any). Idk I kind of feel like I don't really fit in now, even though I did well in the end. Maybe this industry isn't good for me?
Similar experience to you - buy-side looks for your ability to generate returns and generally your capabilities. It's a little bit more merit based in that sense. I don't think you should be too turned off by it though, the people are much nicer and depending on where you're at the training is minimal but also its more of a heads down type of thing so you'll fit in.
