Can I work at a hedge fund?
I have a question. If I take a position as an investment analyst at metlife's investment arm dealing with FOF work can I eventually move into a legit Hedge Fund or PE Shop? maybe after B school?

Define legit hf and ur intended fyture role what kind of focus
What type of fofwork ( hf (what type of funds), pe, re)
Thx
The kind of skills you will learn at a FOFs don't correlate too strongly with the kind of skills you will need at a PE shop or HF. That is, at a FOFs you focus on manager selection and due diligence, but you really don't drill down into how to buy individual assets (be that shorting a stock at a HF or buying a company in PE).
Having said that, you will learn a lot about different managers and their strategies, so you can use that knowledge to go over to the direct investing side.
So the move is defintley not impossible, but I just want you to understand the skill sets are different.
Thanks for response. As far as the types of roles are concerned The team manages a portfolio of limited partnership interests focused on domestic and international investments including hedge funds, leveraged buyouts, growth/venture capital, mezzanine, energy and distressed securities investments. The company is also a major player in the U.S. Private equity industry. The program is 4 years so after this program ends what types of opportunities should I persue given the type of experience? Also, If you can shed light on compensation that would be great.
