eFinancial Careers – If you interview at an investment bank, you may be asked weird questions. If you interview at a hedge fund, the chances of this happening are higher.
Last year, research conducted by eFinancialCareers in the US concluded that hedge fund interviews are the hardest. This week, it has also become apparent that they can also be strange.
Absolute Return Magazine has interviewed Ray Dalio, a hedge fund manager already known for mild social abnormalities which have not inhibited his ability to run Bridgewater Associates, the world’s largest hedge fund with $87bn in assets, $37bn of which netted a 45% gain last year. Bridgewater tends to hire, “smart liberal arts graduates in their 20s,” about 30% of whom either leave or are fired within the first two years of joining.
