Admitting to a Career Mistake... Next Steps?
I declined a spot in a BB S&T summer program for a position at a local boutique investment management firm (15-20bln AUM + long-only + fundamental value). I was sold a bill of goods that have yet to materialize (dragged through the mud for 18+ months), i.e. opportunity to work on new products (long-short, global, etc.). The individual I have been working with to launch a HF product comes from a Top 3 HF in Europe and has the credentials/track to successfully manage said product. Yet, we are having trouble getting firm buy-in. As you can probably tell, I have become rather disgruntled at work these days.
What would be the best approach for me to get out of a well-known AM firm in Canada (unknown elsewhere) and into IBD -> HF or straight to HF? Has anyone else made a similar career transition and how long did the process take? Top recruiters for these type of transitions? I am willing to move to wherever a good opportunity materializes.
By way of background, I graduated from undergrad a year and a half ago, have been working on our long-only equity product while putting in extra time for a potential launch (tasks include: assist in managing a "paper portfolio - proof of concept for the old geezers here" - idea generation, trading analysis, vet prime brokers, create market materials, risk analysis, etc.). I also did a summer at a BB in research.
Cheers.
Would also like to know how this works. Freshman here.
I'd say be keeping your own portfolio of material on the side in case things go to shit and you want to send them over to a HF. A HF couldn't give a nutsack about a simple resume, they like to see work examples/pitches/presentations/etc.
