Big 10 school > Corporate Finance (Fortune 200) > Big 4 Consulting > Hedge Fund (In process)

Want to provide advice on networking, applying to jobs strategically, and whatever it is someone in a similar boat might want to ask me.

Also, want to get advice from experienced finance folks - how to break into HF from the Consulting world? I am definitely not planning on going to B-School at the moment - not willing to give up my income.

Short story: Graduated from Big 10 in December, no job lined up, fucked around for a few months and networked my ass off - landed at F200, then after around a year switched into Big 4 Consulting - better pay and opportunity to fluff up my resume. Been here for a while, but realize consulting is not my thing...
