Risk Management at a Hedge Fund - Dead end?

Hey guys,

I have an upcoming interview for a risk management analyst position at a fairly large, well-known hedge fund... I was wondering if starting out in RM in a hedge fund out of undergraduate would end up being bad with regards to exit opps. What are the general exit opps for this type of position? How is it perceived?

 
Lou:

I would say it depends how large and structured the firm is and how closely you'll work with the traders.

If the firm is "very large" and "very structured", I would say the chances are slim but not impossible.

I agree with you. It depends upon how big firm is and on which position you will work with the traders.
