In Reply To: will be graduating from UCLA this year in Econ, did I-banking last summer, but want to work for a small hedge fund (about 200mm in assets) in small,mid-cap, i've heard the whole go to banking and look after 2 years crap, but i want to give it a shot straight out of school, any advice?
Message: Yea, I have some advice. Be realistic!!! It's hard enough to get a job, any job, with a hedge fund. And you're limiting yourself to a small fund focused on small cap? You already have one strike aganst you with the Econ major rather than finance (As an econ major myself I know about this). It's not crap. There's a reason those firms want you to work somewhere else first. Because until you do, you are useless to them. You don't know anything.
