Graduate seeking currency trading/hedge fund position
Hi everyone,
I am a business school graduate trying to break into the world of finance, and I do not have any experience in the industry yet. My current position as a personal assistant to a hedge fund founder has struck a new interest: the currency market. My boss's firm is not looking for analysts or any entry-level positions. I am looking to break into a hedge fund or some other firm to learn the ins and outs of currency trading (I plan on starting my own portfolio once I become more educated.)
I was wondering if anyone had any advice about breaking into a hedge fund without any prior experience. My understanding is I should try to obtain an analyst job somewhere first. I have applied to several analyst jobs at large corporations with no luck. I think the fact that I lack office experience is also hurting my chances to landing a position in finance.
Any suggestions or references would be much appreciated!
Thank you.
Depends on your situation but if I were you, whatever firm I contact, I'd tell them I'm willing to get paid half of what they're about to give to the guy ahead of me =)
Or just try to get some unpaid internships.
