Can anyone help me navigate how to join a hedge fund? I have experience with value investing (above market returns in personal account) and would like to pursue that as a career. However, I don’t want to go back to school and get an MBA.

Ah dude I’d delete the parenthesis, not trying to be mean but people are going to have a field day with that.

The answer is investment banking experience, a heavy understanding of quant languages and being proficient in analysis, and or an MBA from one of the leading programs. And maybe… just maybe experience in PEG/PEPI consulting.

I’ve interviewed with a few well known funds and these folk are on a different level.

Quantitative ability and the speed at which they process things with a very high degree of accuracy was the thing that caught me the most. Being able to quickly pick up abstract concepts and have an understanding, or at least a framework to process. Also they have a very different way of approaching things & asking questions. It’s also just type A personalities to the max.

Hard to explain via message but I’ve interviewed at Goldman, Peak 6, Google, and some others, and the interviewers at the shops I interviewed at were sharper than the rest.
