Let's say you graduate from college and get an offer to join a hedge fund. What will be your title? (I'm guessing analyst) What will you do on a daily basis? What would your resume look like?

I would say it depends a lot on the type of fund, the culture, and the candidate's abilities. I could certainly see coffee-fetching at a large macro fund if you had relatively little experience, but I would imagine a value-oriented L/S fund would put you to work (assuming the culture supports this). Off the top of my head, you could expect building industry primers, supply chain checking, and some modelling.

Whatever you do, I am pretty sure that fetching coffee for the desk will be a large part of it :).
