Skip I-Banking, Go Straight to Hedge Funds?
There's this small Hedge Fund I have a phone call at, and I'm not really sure what to do about it. It's about "career path information" but I'm curious as to whether or not I can work my way into a junior year summer internship. I guess my questions are
1) Is it common/possible?
2) Would it be better for me to take a small HF internship over say a MM IB internship? Especially if HFs are the end goal
small hedge funds are bull shit. It's a very risky career move given the uncertainty the street is placing on the value-add of hedge funds. My brother worked at Morgan Stanley then went to a top five hedge fund and a few others. It's kind of a volatile career since there aren't many jobs outside of top funds which are lean. Also, pay will be shit at a small hedge fund.
As someone who did this and is now going back to bschool i would definitely recommend against this. Everything the above poster said is spot on.
Thanks for the advice guys! I had the same concern that it would provide little to no transferrable value to my skillset, and the small name wouldn't help.
