These are the primary differences between the two. As far as being more likely to start your own H-fund at either/or, it goes back to payscale and the contacts you can generate from either arena.

Think of the entreprenuership mentality. If you work for the man, you get a regular pay check and it's less of a headache but you have limited income potential. With starting your own fund, it's the converse...

and we have an internal hedge fund used to manage the warrants, etc that go along with deals. its a one man shop where i work, but i would imagine it would be more complex with a bb. ask whos money they are managing and what kind of hedge fund they would consider themselves. if its anything like ours, they have no objective other than managing whatever comes off our deals, and therefore it is not a specific type of hedge fund. i still think it could be a good opportunity if this was the case depending where you are in your career.
