What type of strategies/asset classes/sectors does it focus on? What kind of role (research, PM, IR, etc.)? The specifics will determine the questions you’re likely to face.

More generally speaking you should know the basics of the firm - AUM, when it was started, key facts about the founders/partners/C-suite. This will also help you to ask better questions as well, to gauge the pedigree of the people in charge and see what medium/long-term viability looks like for the fund

Reps. Consider interviewing with several funds you’re not that interested in to build up your reps and confidence before you interview with your top choices. Your 10th HF interview will be an order of magnitude higher quality than your first.

I have an interview coming up with Church & Dwight. When the recruiter emailed me with 3 interview times I thought he was asking me what time works best. Turns out he was telling me I was scheduled for 3 different interviews for 3 different teams in one day. Has anyone heard of a company doing that or gone through this for an interview? It seems odd to me

Wondering what the usual tax bracket is of people retired (around 65yo) as I’m not sure anything would bring in significant income with the exception of investments. In my case would a Roth make sense? Appreciate any answers!!
