Never mind.

I am deleting my intro thread because I got a response that was not really what I was looking for. I don't think I joined the right forum. It was actually scary to read that many folks on this thread are hardcore racists (KKK types). No wonder you get negative responses. I really wish I could simply delete my account and vanish which WSO does not allow.

I wish I could help, but I feel like you really dug yourself into a deep hole here. 

The best advice I can give is to get into like the #1 quantitative finance grad program(s) in the country. Maybe a PhD in something hedge funds really like (but this would have to be from a top 3ish program and I am not even sure you can even get in). 

You are too old for an MBA, and an EMBA will NOT get you into the kinds of roles you are looking for so that avenue won't work. 

You also might have to start in entry level roles and compete with 22 year olds. From that avenue you may have an advantage, but do you really want HF that bad that you'd be willing to do that? -- Even still, not sure if it's actually an advantage. 

 

Idk man I just saw a comment on another thread supporting ethnic cleansing with way too many upvotes

 

Really buddy? People take time out of their day to help you (a stranger on the internet), you don't like their responses, and now you call the forum racist? Fuck off.
