Even with good pay?
For me it would be Tepper. It's like if you gave some middle aged feel strong a billion bucks. I respect his knowledge and all but the dude is a tool

Hmmmm... probably Archegos Capital
You don't think it would be pretty entertaining?
that'd be fun af what are u talking abt
I'd pay money to see that meltdown
You probably would have if you worked there and had money in the fund
LMAO another hedge fund post - can you spell R E C E S S I O N I N D I C A T O R???
Another hedge fund post on a finance careers forum wow
If anything people flock to hedge funds after a market crash, given that typical market neutral firms have a beta of like ~0.2.
i wouldn't work for any HF with under $1 Bn AUM.
Why?
He/she must not be the brightest bulb, that's why...
Bridgewater 100%.
Wouldn’t work for Ackmann
Why?
not respected in the industry imo - the best operators tend to shun the limelight, not chase it....
yeah, why
Pershing Square
Are you guys 10 years old? Tepper is the exact type of investor you should emulate and potentially the GOAT. He puts up amazing numbers and can outperform in any environment, not just talk about how every tech company at 20x sales is a never sell because it will compound 50% growth for the next decade right before rates go up
I never said I disagreed with his investing style
Think the better challenge is to find one hedge fund manager (better known name) who seems like a nice down to earth person who could be a good boss.
Definitely Bill Ackman. But to be fair, it's probably cause I watched his propaganda film on Herbalife that makes him look like a fucking saint
found the simp
Stevie Cohen is a relatively nice guy (admittedly a low bar).
I've also heard many good things about working for Steve. He just gets too busy with his criminal activities sometimes.
Dan Sundheim seems like a chiller
Why work at any hedge fund?
For the love of the game.
What game. This isn’t soccer
This guy knows
Citadel, Balyasny, Point72
Nice list of names
+ Bridgewater
Melvin
Melvin was a small biz owner I think. Sounds like a good name for a fund
Bridgewater
80% of Citadel
70% of MLPw
Worldquant
AQR
All seem fine
Agree with this list.
Just curious why you say 80% of Citadel vs. 70% of MLP. Does MLP have more high quality pods/PMs? What about P72/Balyasny?
no, just MLP has more of an independent HF feel (according to friends) and is *slightly less toxic than Citadel. I have heard favorable things about p72. Unknown on Balyasny
why not BW
Why not WorldQuant?
what is wrong with bridgewater
I feel bad, first I thought [Ben Matan Biran] / User836 / BoutiqueBananas was an expert troll but he's actually severely asperger'd out if you read his original WSO mentor post / podcast below. I guess WSO is his outlet. I hope you find the enjoyment you seek buddy :) Just know that you come off as unknowledgeable on many subjects but maybe more so than others in the HF forum. Idk how asperger people take to constructive criticism, but thought I'd pass it along in case he is able to reflect on this.
Otherwise wish you the best during COVID and whatever job / hobby you are up to after your few banking stints.
Man, thanks for posting this I never actually took the time to listen to that pod, cause its like "wharton to EB" like pretty expected path. But explains a lot intellectually very smart book smart guy but may lack some soft skils and awareness to see how his advice to others who did not have his path could be taken.
Hope this dude finds himself into the buyside at some point, people like this should typically start out right away on the buyside from what I have seen. Also wish him the best.
Thanks. Best wishes to you too
Thanks best wishes to you too
Axe Cap. Taylor Mason Capital has a rep of being very difficult as well but more focused on performance.
