Hi. I’m currently searching for a new role after being at a hedge fund for 16 years. Anyone have thoughts on my best approach? Active on LinkedIn but feeling frustrated.

I can honestly say I’ve reached out to everyone I know and then whoever they know.! Thank you.

You are an Ops Manager at a Hedge Fund company? If you are already licensed S7/66/9/10 or 8,/79 you should be able to transition to PWM/Private Bank/Investment Bank/Institutions groups. I would search for an Ops manager role in that field. With your experience, one might even allow you to get missing licenses thereafter. Look at LPL, Fidelity, or Raymond James. Morgan Stanley, UBS, and big wirehouses are on a hiring freeze.

Thank you. I don’t currently have my licenses as they weren’t sponsored at the fund. I have applied to a handful of jobs at Fidelity and Raymond James. Excuse my ignorance but what is LPL and what are some wirehouses? Thanks.

Oh wow, that's a long time at any job. May I ask what you are considering for a new role?

Unfortunately they decided to close rather suddenly. I’ll be honest if not I’d be there until retirement!
