1) If you join a medium to large L/S hedge fund as a research analyst & you end up doing well, what is earnings potential 2yrs & 5 yrs out? 2) Also, in case things don't work out/fund underperforms, etc, what are the attractive exit options for a L/S guy besides another L/S fund? 3) Lastly, do you think there's any value in getting some macro exposure (macro fund exposure / rates or EM trading) before jumping back into L/S (knowing that lots of value investors don't really care about markets)?

1) depends what u mean by "do well". If you have been given balance sheet and have put a good return on it you could make millions 5 years out. 2) If you blow out at a hedge fund you usually head back to the street in my experience...ie you go be a sell-side salesman or trader. i am sure there are other things but that what ive seen most often. 3) I work at a macro fund and dont know as much long/short but i think experience in macro would have very little overlap with long/short unless ur job at the macro fund involves analyzing individual stocks.
