Is the best route to working in a hedge fund as an analyst, trader, or even one of the managers to start as an analyst from the Buy-Side or the Sell-Side?
I have reasearched that most people start with the sell-side so they can be more effective at a buy-side firm, post-training/experience.
Is this reasearch right? And if so is there a way to start working for the buy-side right away and are there different credentials needed?
As a side note, I am aware of the fact that an MBA or CFA will be required to bcome an assoicate of a hedge fund. The main point if it is asking how to get to that level when you start at the bottom?
Thanks
