What are exit opps from a hedge fund if you don't plan to stay in investing? If your plan is to go to industry anyway, is there any value in spending time covering that industry for 2 years at a HF?

Probably investor relations and maybe FP&A? I do wonder if there’s a better way to spend those two years though

I exited to RE PE post- HF. If you want to stay on the revenue side, you could potentially go to a VC or PE firm within your coverage space, but that type of exit is typically facilitated by obtaining a Master or MBA. It’s possible to do the transition without obtaining a graduate degree, but just more difficult to do so depending on your age. Gl.

You could do finance roles coming out but it’s not the best path if you want to go back to corporate.

Not sure what your background pre-HF is, but assuming 2 year IB stint, you can probably come out as a Finance Manager at a PE portco. Id recommend PE and then going the CFO route instead.

I’ve been doing ID for about 2 years now. Mostly slip and fall and WC work. Long-term, I want to move out of ID. I’m currently interviewing at a firm that does ID, but mostly does insurance coverage opinions. They also do some more complex ID, such as L&E.

With the ultimate goal of moving completely out of ID, would this be seen as a step up? I appreciate any and all feedback. TIA
