Five Star Man

Can't really weigh in on your question. However, I can confidently say the AIP guys were the smartest guys I ever lent to. If you have the shot to go, I'd go.

Was in IB for 10 years and agree 100%. Kim Marvin is a GD savant. 

"I don't know how to explain to you that you should care about other people."
 

Since no one else has too much else to add, I think I have had a friend or two who have gone to work there. I may still have one who is currently there. I don’t have much color besides to say he/they have been nice friends and pleasures to know/work with. If you or someone wants to try to speak to them, I’m happy to try to set something up for your and his/their benefit. Best wishes and good luck :)

 

Would love to get connected or even if they could just share their experience of the culture that would be great too. Just trying to get a better sense of what it would be like to work at the fund
