Hi all,
I just recently joined a mid-tier Level investment bank and sit in their credit risk management department. I support our hedge fund equity derivatives desk - write credit reviews, perform due diligence calls with hedge funds, set trading limits, etc.
I’ve been interviewing with this hedge fund that is set to launch this year. They recently gave me an offer to join as an analyst.
The pay is lower than what I am currently making. Would you make the jump? Please help with any advice that you have! Thanks!
Analyst doing ... investment research? What’s the aum and fund strategy?
Yes - investment research -- $200-500 AUM and macro
Sounds like a great opportunity. Curious to know how you found this opportunity.
I'd go with the HF. Pay can't be too much lower but the future trajectory is way way higher. Macro has been struggling for a while but I think it will be coming back around soon. If the partners have a good track record, I'd go for it.

Sometimes you sound like a robot. Say this in your best robot voice. It will be great.
While bearing in mind that I'm still in college though have done multiple IB and PE internships, I would personally take the offer (especially if you don't see yourself doing credit risk long term).
I'd find the work more interesting, can make a solid career out of it, and it isn't too often that you get an opportunity to jump from credit risk to a hedge fund. If you end up liking the work but maybe don't like the firm or don't feel confident in their performance, you'll have a better chance of jumping ship to another firm with this exp
