I was headhunted through LinkedIn for Citadel and Balyasny. Got offers from both, but didn’t take due to some very personal reasons. I didn’t do anything special - I just gained knowledge through my DD engagements and did some industry research + watched some YouTube videos on HF interviews

I work at a fund now after 5 years at MBB. What type of role are you looking for?
Most of the funds I know don’t have clean title mapping like banks or consultancies, front office is typically easy at associate - analyst - PM, but back and middle office is all over the place. When I got hired and now when I hire people, I am indexing on giving people a significant comp bump with any title being incidental.

Not true! You can also marry the child of a hedge fund manager and get onboarded through your new family connections.
