If at an M7 MBA, it is difficult but definitely not impossible. If you're at Columbia, Wharton, HBS or Booth, it happens all the time.
why the MBA to HF? Student here, genuinely wondering why the predominant path is MBA to HF instead of MSF or some other focused degree to HF? I’ve always wondered if the MBA is too general
For me I guess I want to understand the whole business, not just the financial engineering or cap structure aspect. Also think that an MBA gives you a more well rounded network. But I suppose a Masters in Finance or something analogous probably works just as well
I was at a top bschool. I knew plenty of classmates who did not have prior buyside experience land at smaller funds that they dug up somewhere -- for example, me. But I don't know anyone from my bschool class who went to a reputable HF who did not have prior HF or PE experience.
What were the opportunities like for peers who had prior buy-side experience? Have always wondered how much HF hiring actually happens at the MBA level. Seems like a much less organized process vs. LO/PE/IB/consulting recruiting

I went to bschool a while back at this point. Back then, the industry looked a lot different. Of my classmates I knew, I would say that those with blue chip resumes who wanted to intern or work full time at HF were all able to land at an equivalent blue chip HF. Names that I remember include large Tiger cubs like Viking and Coatue to places like Och Ziff and Perry Capital to MMs like Citadel and ...and then everything on down.
