Any stories of Hedge Fund -> Prop Trading?
It seems getting TO a hedge fund is held up as the holy grail of career paths around here, but I'm curious if the hedge fund to prop trading path ever happens.
Working in the quant/research side of things for going on 3 years now, there's a lot of interesting alternate quantitative (non-market signals) that my current place just won't put on the book. I wonder if I could try my hand in the market myself, after developing a lot of my ideas.
