I’m doing an MBA and was a qualified actuary in banking retail credit risk/tiny bit of market risk for 4 years. I have a BSc in maths and have MBA internship experience in top tier consulting firm and now doing an activist investor internship. What is my chance of getting into a hedge fund in London and what kind of roles can I go for? Do I have a chance of getting into a quant role, or private credit? Can I do top tier consulting firm for a few years and move to private credit later?
