Career in hedge funds

No one states it much better than Keith McCullough in the book, The Diary of a Hedge Fund Manager: countless hedge fund dudes seem to just insinuate their means into the hedge fund globe.

Go through the current ranks. You can find the ex-Wall Streeters: David Einhorn, John Paulson, Eric Mindich, Leon Cooperman, David Tepper, Dan Och... big finance companies are in which the majority of hedge investment supervisors result from.
