Anyone have insight into what a strategy role at a hedge fund entails? Recruiter reached out and it's definitely not an investment analyst role. 🤔

Who gives a shit what the role is get paid and use them Benjamin’s to wipe away the tears of regret

Yeah agree with points above. I’m temporarily at a VC and have found that I really don’t enjoy the investing side (lots and lots of siloed modeling and number crunching) and prefer the consulting post-investment support role, so that’s just my perspective. Good luck with your decision! Definitely get to know the team. A small team = huge difference from a larger consulting firm. It’ll make or break your experience, imo

Likely post-investment support - consulting for companies. The question is whether you’d want to be an investment analyst instead? I feel like that’s worse hours (though potentially clearer career trajectory, depending on how the hedge fund is split)

@SC1 😂 Short term there MAY be more Benjamin's (don't know yet), but long term I may be shooting my consulting career trajectory in the foot so it's not as clear cut in my mind.

No job postings?

It came from a recruiter. I talked to him on the phone but still unclear. The fund is tiny (14 people), and he described it as working directly with the owner on strategic analyses

Fair point @B1, I'm thinking post ivestment support as well. Though that usually makes sense for PE firms since hedge funds don't hold on to their investments long enough. And yeah, I'm undecided on whether I'd like to be an investment analyst (not that I have an option really at the moment).

Cognizant isn't known for the best exit opps, this sounds like the best one I've heard of

The fund finds arbitrage opportunities in power transmission rights and trades those. Again sounds good on paper, but I'm early 30s so I want to be careful about what I do over the next 10 years to set me up for long term $$$$$

One of my friends works as a Director in Nagarro. She has been there for 7 years and has a CTC of 42 with total yoe 17. Per current trend this is low even though she is a constant top performer. She says that even though delivery people play a pivotal role, they are not paid well. In her team, she sees technical people earning 45-50 at 10-11 yoe. So the factor is 2.5 for delivery vs 4.5 to 5 for technical roles. Per her, this is quite common in Nagarro & she is not an outlier. ctd in comments
