First of all, thank you to all readers who have sent me emails over the past few months. We are lucky to have such a strong readership. Secondly, I wanted to announce that I have begun development on a new layout / format for the site which will combine hedge fund and buy-side interview, resume and career tips, as well as a number of articles myself and a few colleagues have penned over the past few months. If you would like to contribute, please contact me at hunter@ distressed-debt-investing.com. Finally, we are looking for one or two advertisers to partner …

This is the final series in our posts on hedge fund interviews. In this post, we will talk about the “take-home” case study offered at many hedge funds. As discussed in our last post about hedge fund case studies done at the office, sometimes a fund or other buy-side shop will ask the prospective analyst to do both an at home case study and an in-office case study.

In-office case studies: This is where the hedge fund or buy-side institution …

In our last post, we talked about the first round of a hedge fund interview.

This is going to be the first part in a series of posts on the in’s and out’s of interviewing at a hedge fund – more specifically, what actually goes on during a hedge fund interview. Oftentimes, I get emails asking what sort of hedge fund interview questions to expect or if I have any hedge fund interview tips. A hedge fund interview is really a series of interviews. This post assumes that you have made it past the resume filtering stage and that you have an interview scheduled and ready to go. If you remember if a previous post, …
