Thoughts on NWM -> HF?

Thoughts on Northwestern Mutual -> HF route?

Hi all,

I just graduated with a major in African Dance Theory, and minor in accounting from a prestigious CCTU (Community College Target University) and am proud to say that I just accepted a job from Northwestern Mutal (they're the jane street/2 sigma of insurance if you people on here haven't heard of them).

As happy as I am with NWM (they're on par with Goldman and the boys, if I've not already mentioned) I want to end up at a L/S HF.

I'm planning on taking the trad route of NWM -> HF but am a tad bit concerned. Do you think I easily secure a PM role at a L/S fund in the next couple of years? If not, what steps should I take?

Tx
