Full time recruiting Hedge Funds 2021
What are the best tips of advice for someone who didn't get a summer analyst position this summer, because of COVID? What should I be brushing up on? Would that have a big impact on FT recruiting?Or will they be more lenient due to COVID?
Answered this in another thread but most HFs don't hire people out of undergrad unless you're looking at larger funds such as citadel, p72, etc. If you don't have a summer internship it's going to be much harder to do FT recruiting regardless of the covid-19 situation. Try to get something if you can, even if it's remote and shortened. Without a summer internship, you can at best try to email funds and ask for an internship if they're willing to hire someone but forget about recruiting FT for a HF without any internship exp tbh
It's hard to find anything, because most companies have halted any hiring. Suggestions?
P72 has some externship program that you could check out. Unfortunately I don’t know of any other opportunities. As someone else suggested networking would be your best option
put all your contacts in excel. then their contacts that could be family offices etc. you should offer to work for minimum wage or free at a small fund and offer value add things in some pitch to them like do all the mechanical data gathering of companies, put together market trackers, call companies for channel checks, set up IR calls. just think of some things that’ll make the HF PM go wow this kid will make my life a little easier at no cost....then maybe later he might wanna train you
maybe it’s a lot of ops stuff but try to work close with research. I know guys that interned in ops and move to research at 5-10 person shops. it’s not uncommon at the right place
