Let me give you some great advice. Two years does not make a career.... and you need to think about drawdowns and that you were in a bull market. Things are different in bear markets and it separates pros from amateurs. But if you want to become a PM keep trading your own portfolio etc.. but start working on algos and other things that will improve yourself as a trader. Programming for one...It will help you get a trader role, which similar to a PM and will lead that way.

Also start working on building cases for companies on why you buy them (will be helpful to show later on down the road). Ivy school wont hurt but not a necessity. A good school though is and just do well in school and in portfolio and everything will take its course.

 

You should kill yourself. All great hedge fund managers killed themselves first before they made it big. Best of luck.

Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.
