the biggest hedge fund has about 30 billion asset under management. with 20 B, the fund is definitely in the top 10. which one did you get the summer offer? the couple of names you mentioned used to be big in the industry. actually many hedge fund founders were associated with tiger. D.E.shaw is still in top 10 in terms of fund size, but its investment more count on quantitative analysis and modeling, so it recruits a lot of PhDs. if you dont have former experience with hedge fund, you either work for other buy side firms or work in investment banking, or you come from computer science, you get a quant job? |
