Hello! I recently got accepted to Wharton and Princeton. I'm very excited but also rather struggle to make a choice. I was invited for the Joseph Wharton Scholar program (as well as Benjamin Franklin). I didn't apply for the M&T program, but I think if I go with Wharton it would be possible to...

CFA® Charterholders Heading Top Hedge Funds?
I honestly can't name off the top of my head CFA® charterholders who are heading top funds. I don't "count" Cooperman/Gross since they both have MBAs too. Heck, it almost seems that JDs are a more common professional designation in the top HF & PE space (Singer, Rubenstein, Bonderman). Am I...

Hello Wall Street Oasis, I just finished an interview with a prominent hedge fund. I believe it went okay to good.

What do you do differently? Or what does your fund do differently?

Training at HFs
Is it fair to say there is little to no training or mentorship given to new analysts that join funds after banking? As in most of the time you'll be working by yourself on ideas immediately instead of with a more experienced analyst or on a team?
Management Fees
Any top funds charge 1.5% management fees instead of 2%? In general, can one say funds charging 2% are considered better funds by LPs than those that charge less?
Just updated my resume, need some feedback!

Lobbyist internship... worth it?
I was hoping to find a spring internship with a hedge fund but it doesn't seem too likely at this point. I got an offer from a state-level lobbyist firm, though.
