Any tips, gonna meet up with HF PM

Hi WSO,

There's this PM at a reputable HF who I regularly meet up for chats for about 3 years. One could say he's a mentor, guiding me along my path and updating ourselves with the current trends in the strategies.

We're set to meet next week, simple regular coffee. This time, I'm ready to take the step to hint to him I'm looking to make a move to his HF.

Any tips? Bring some print outs of my research? Be explicit that I wish to make a move?

Recap: Target school, 5 years analyst in small NYC hedge funds, short track record with small money

Cheers, Nijikon
