It’s such a mixed feeling when your company posts about new positions and encourages everyone to apply, but then adds that it’s only for people who have been in their current role for at least a year. I got my hopes up for a moment, and then they dropped. I understand it’s fair for those who’ve been there longer, but it still made me feel a little sad. I really wish I was eligible too.

Did something similar ever happen to you?

Yea, it’s annoying seeing that when I want to apply for a job that I barely have experience in but I have the degree for it. I also know that people with a lot of experience will get the job before me which is fine. But I want to be able to have an opportunity to perform and be just as great as the people with experience.

Exactly. Me too. Sometimes you know more than those experienced people but sadly you are not chosen because you are new to their company.

I’m sorry that’s rough. I’m not sure why it matters how long you’ve been there if you’ve proven yourself. But maybe in a few months you’ll be able to apply for something similar.

If your an experienced staff or senior with hedge- fund experience and want to move to Dallas, DM me to discuss discretely. Honestly great team. Turnover has been low for last 18 months at 10%. Compared to 40-50% in other places. Crazy hours feb-apr, 40 apr-jul, 45 in Aug, maybe 50-60 that last week of aug/ early sept. <40 post 9/15. We have a need at the senior level to fill a gap. Seniors help is needed everywhere so if your interested, come cash in your chips!

Thoughts?
