But what role at the hedge fund? If you want to be a research analyst / investor / portfolio manager, then do IB... if you want to be a buyside equity or credit trader, do S&T
Hedge funds typically have diverse strategies and multiple front office roles across things like equity, credit, traders, structured credit, real estate, emerging markets. It's important to do a role/group that feeds into the role you want to be in. For example, if you want to be a credit/distressed hedge fund investor, starting at JPM leveraged finance IB or Evercore Restructuring is a great start that'll open many doors. If you want to be a equity hedge fund guy, an IPO heavy group / prestigious IB team is the way to go.
I want to trade rates/currencies/bonds. The traditional way was prop trading but that is dead now so what is the best next thing
Prop is not dead man. But would you be able to get in?
