Yea I work at a pretty big hedge fund. Culture is very competitive, a somewhat meritocracy. One of our best traders left couple years back to form Mason Capital. But recently rejoined us, thanks to our determined leader. Most importantly, our in-house therapist helps us to stay on top of the game. One time I went into her office, thought it was my session, but ran into her ex-husband tied on the desk with a gimp mask and ball-gag. Interesting indeed.
Are you hiring?
Couple friends at a large well-known Chicago HF in ops roles. Pay is outstanding. Culture is akin to a meat grinder.

Thanks BCG1, this is very helpful. One other question, if you have any insights on this:
Are these ops/IT PM type roles pretty stable and secure? Or are layoffs quite common at hedge funds for these roles?
I know a few people at Bridgewater and being in an ops or support function role is still a ton of hours and stress, but they make wayyyy above market on pay.
P1 and BCG1 - what’s the attitude toward the ops roles in these firms? Are they seen as second class citizens?
