Hedge Fund LinkedIn Review

“My meeting with Kevin Lee was super helpful and went well beyond what I originally expected. We met to discuss my LinkedIn profile, but the conversation also covered the hedge fund space and how I’m thinking about my career as a whole. I really appreciated being able to talk about both how I present myself professionally and the broader direction I want to take. As someone interested in hedge funds but also exploring other paths in finance, it was helpful to have a conversation that connected my profile to my actual interests and goals. Kevin gave me a lot to think about, and I left feeling clearer about my next steps. Overall, I really appreciated his time and willingness to go beyond the original purpose of our meeting.”

Hedge Fund Mock Interview

“He was very responsive and prepared for the meeting. He actually read the JD, resume, and looked up linkedin which sometimes other mentors doesn't actually go over those to prepare things beforehand. I appreciate his direct comments I think it saved time and actually helped me to know exactly where to improve. I also appreciated him admitting if he doesn't know about specific HF strategy. Only thing I'd suggest for him is probably sending actionable key takeaways after the meeting because other mentors did and that was very helpful. ”

There aren't that many top L/S funds to begin with. I'm not familiar with L/S, but I believe the Tiger funds at least run really lean -- very few front office professionals relative to their AUM. It would be really hard to filter it out properly on LinkedIn. LinkedIn is a predominantly recent phenomenon. Many senior guys probably don't have a complete LinkedIn profile with education and role filled in. A better check would be your Career Services database once you're on campus, and even that would be pretty incomplete. Berkeley is good for any job. What matters most is whether you are. There's no need for buyer's remorse here.
