Hedge Fund MO to B-School
Curious how a MO role (i.e. corporate dev., investor relations, etc.) at a top HF (i.e. Citadel, Bridgewater, etc.) coming out of undergrad will place in top 10 b-schools in ~2 years. End goal after MBA does not involve FO or the finance industry in general. Has anyone gone down a similar path? Any input is appreciated.

A friend of mine with a similar background ended up at a Stern/Yale/Darden ranked school. Assuming your GMAT/GPA are in line, you should be able to get into that tier with non H/S M7 as a possiblity
I know a bunch of ex-Bridgewater folks with M7 (lots of HBS and some CBS) MBAs. The Yale/Darden/etc. tier seems lower than I'd expect for a first-tier HF - whether you're FO or not. Peculiar career plan, though...
Hedge Fund to Business School Ops (Originally Posted: 10/29/2016)
What is the outlook for going to business school from a top hedge fund in a two-year program?
It seems like there's not the network that private equity firms have to get people placed into business schools, but have to imagine that business schools would still see this work as "good experience," right? Do any of you have thoughts on this? I'm set on going to business school and want to know if this is a viable path to getting there.
I'm not 100% how HF guys are perceived, but considering that you made it into a "top hf", im sure adcoms have heard of it and there are precedents. If your other stats are up to par I'm sure you'll place fine.
B School from HF (Originally Posted: 11/25/2013)
There is a lot of talk on here about doing IB, then PE, then B school. Also a lot of talk about feeders to the top schools. However, what about going to B School after working at a HF for a few years after IB? Is it harder to get into, say, HBS from a top HF than it is from a top PE fund?
Conventional wisdom on this site (and Poets and Quants) that HF work places you at a bit of a disadvantage at HBS and GSB. For whatever reason, IB and PE are considered "acceptable" finance roles, but market-facing ones like S&T and HF are not. That being said, I'd imagine if you're coming from Paulson or Soros or Baupost or other top funds you're definitely in the running. (By "top" I mean "prestigious." If you're at a smaller place making killer returns...eh.)
