Hedge funds are the fund of choice for those looking to get into the financial services arena and for those looking to make a move within the market. But, landing a job at a hedge fund is not easy. Competition is brutal, standards are high, the industry is secretive, and the funds all operate in unique ways making it difficult to approach them in a generalized manner. But, there is hope. Candidates armed with Glocaps insight into getting a job will have a great advantage. What are funds looking for? What can you expect in an interview? What is the best way to network in the industry? What degrees are preferred? And, if applicable, what sort of experience is needed to set oneself up well for a position? All of these questions, and more, will be answered by industry experts who focus on these topics every day.
