Career Trajectory post Bridgewater et al?
Undergrad student interested in working at a fund like Bridgewater. Have heard that culture is extremely brutal with a lot of their analyst class leaving within a year. Have also heard that working at a macro focused fund like Bridgewater can pigeonhole you. Curious to hear opinions on what one can...
Bridgewater Rising Fellows Program
Has anyone heard back from the Bridgewater Rising Felllows program? They said that we should expect to hear from them in late January.
BridgeWater |How long should I wait after the final round interview with BridgeWater?
Hi, all! I've finished the final round interview with BW last week and it's already been a week and I didn't receive any feedback. Should I expect to be rejected considering no feedback? How long does it take for a firm to give you final decision after your final round interview? Should I reach out...
Bridgewater Investment Implementation?
Does anyone know about the Bridgewater Investment Implementation team/internship role? It apparently consists of research, portfolio construction, and trading .

Bridgewater vs AQR vs Point72
Hello there - what is the fundamental difference between Bridgewater, AQR and Point72 besides the AUM? I am more interested in how these 3 funds are fundamentally different and how a potential investor decides to invest in, let's say, Bridgewater vs AQR vs Point72. Thanks!
How Far Would You Go For a Promotion?
It looks like things are heating up once again at the world's largest hedge fund as allegations of a bit of sexual deviance come to light. Christopher Tarui, a 34-year old employee at Bridgewater, recently filed (and then withdrew) a complaint against Ray Dalio's behemoth of a fund, calling it a...
Ray Dalio Teaches Econ 101
This is really excellent. Imagine having Bridgewater 's Ray Dalio as your Econ 101 professor. Then imagine that the class was only 30 minutes long. I can't for the life of me understand why he made this (it seems to me that Bridgewater's clients should already know this stuff), but Ray Dalio lays...
Entry Level Buy-Side Position
Point72 offers a program known as the Point72 academy (https://www.point72.com/careers/campus-point72-ac…). It is essentially a 15-month crash course for college graduates to the buy side. I was wondering if anyone is aware of any similar entry level programs that the big asset managers/HFs offer?
Alternatives to Bridgewater?
Can anyone suggest some macro funds that - like Bridgewater - are more academic in nature, encourage debates on fundamental macro, are concerned with intellectual enrichment/figuring out how stuff really works in addition to making money? I very much like the philosophy of the place, but the alleged...

Bridgewater Associates vs. Chicago Prop Firm
I'm a young guy in interviews for an entry-level trading position with these two firms, and they seem completely different. Bridgewater is offering a pure execution role, a high base salary, and a massive name that may be somewhat toxic. I think I'd enjoy the culture, but I could be wrong. I have...
Should I leave consulting for Bridgewater Associates?
I'm a fairly new strategy consultant at at second-tier firm (think Deloitte, Accenture, BAH etc), and I really like my job. I'm working on the strategic portfolio management of three diamond client accounts and work very closely with managing directors in the firm, which has been great so far. I...

Global macro: trading vs. research-focused
Have seen some differing opinions on global macro. Some say... Seigniorage: I work at a fairly large global macro group in a diversified hedge fund. we don't take that many sell-side traders (not because we dont need them, but simply because we don't need that many of them- its not like we're...
Risk Management or Client Services Associate???
Interviewing at two funds right now, one is Bridgewater for a Client Services Associate position, the other fund York Capital is for a Risk Management role. Which would be the better move for trying to land into the investment strategy/ trading side of the PM industry? Any thoughts/opinions are...
What is your state of Principles?
We all make countless decisions each day, from really easy ones to really tough ones. We might not think about why we decide to go one way or the other, but what really drives us are the underlining values that we have developed alone or adopted from others. Our principles guide our decision making...

Interview with a headhunter?

Bridgewater Associates - Business Analyst/Project Manager?
Hey guys, I'm being consider for a Business Analyst / Project Manager "pool" at Bridgewater . What the hell does this mean?

Ray Dalio and the Economic Machine
A friend of mine sent me this and I thought it would make for some lively WSO debate. It's a bit long...but interesting to see how one of the top managers in the game thinks. Personally, I'm quite critical of a great many points and would like to get a take from my fellow monkeys. Enjoy....

Bridgewater up 31% through August
http://www.businessinsider.com/ray-dalios-bridgew… To me this seems insane, they're basically stating that to get huge outsized returns you need to diversify your portfolio. This doesnt make sense to me when there are guys like Paulson who are extremely diversified in their portfolios and dont...

I recently talked to a headhunter about this role. Does anyone know much about it or someone who has held this position? It seems like a combination of execution trading and research.

Anyone has any insights into total comp at Bridgewater for experienced hire positions (e.g. Senior Investment Associate, Senior Management Associate, or Client Advisor)? From the web search it seems the salary is around $200K, which is a bit lower than I would expect.
