Introducing Myself

Hi all,

My name is Akshat, I'm currently a first year at Penn State Abington, and I want to go into either policy or run a hedge fund, preferably running my own hedge fund as soon as possible. I'm honestly pretty lost on what's the best way to go about this, so I'm happy to join a community of people who are going through the hedge fund recruiting process or are in the hedge fund industry so that I can start to understand how to carve out my path.
