Rokos Capital - Thoughts on the culture?
Have been reading about Rokos Capital Management fund for a while and keen to know more about it, but don't know anyone there. However, recently have seen some reviews on Glassdoor which don't speak too favorably about the culture (poor leadership, 'yes' men culture, public berating, etc.). Of...

Hedge Fund Modeling Detail?
I'm curious how HFs (talking fundamental L/S HFs) do models and projections. Coming from banking, unless we have the management model, we're almost always just taking consensus and extrapolating. It's never that useful other than to put numbers around "value creation" or expected valuation in a...

Does internship experiences in hedge funds help the recruiting in IBD?

Where do all the people that churn out of HFs go?
Everyone on here says that HF tenure is very short (1-2 yrs avg in some cases) and that if you're at a MM, when your pod gets cut or you are individually fired you just go to another MM. But after scouring LinkedIn, I don't really see many people going from Citadel to P72 or something along those...
