How stable is a tax role position in a new hedge fund that was started 2.5 years ago? Was told that they have 500 employees, have office worldwide. Considering a switch from the Big4 to this firm. But concerned on how stable the role is at these small new hedge fund.

Hedge funds close and open all the time - hundreds per year, often hundreds per quarter. What makes them different? AUM? Concentration/diversification of AUM?

Unless the fund is Bridgewater, SAC/Point 72, or similar, I’d stay away.

500 employees is not a small hedge fund. How much AUM do they have? A small hedge fund is like 3-5 people.

Missed that, good catch.

500 is a good sized fund. I’d want to know back vs front office and if that number includes a family office for founder(s)

There is no way there is a new fund with 500 employees and global. Maybe they launched a new fund, but any global Investment Firm with 500 employees has been around for some time. You would literally have to hire a new employee every business day for 2 years straight. Someone is pulling your chain.

Good catch, that would be an insane scale up lol. I bet it’s just a new fund in an existing firm?

Was told that this new hf that started 2.5 years ago is similar to point72

Hello all
I am a biology graduate. I worked in cancer research and development for more than two years. Recently moved to Canada, and now I'm wanting to transition into clinical research.
Most jobs I find online ask for atleast 2 years clinical experience.
Does anyone have any tips on how to procure this experience? Should I invest in a course? Or should I volunteer at a CRO?
I recently got offered a clinical admin position, would this count as clinical exp?
Thanks

First of all, who is “they” / “them” and what would the letter of education be for? Any thoughts?

DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.
