If you have nothing under your belt at 21, which is implied by the fact you're 'debating' on working at a hedge fund, then clearly the places you're applying are dogshit mom-and-pop firms with buns comp.

i mean think what u want but why would i make this post. itd be 100k with 50-100k bonus. but obviously it requires a lot of hours, stress, travel, exhaustion, compared to something like ecom which is remote and i have a lot of good connections in. guys ik making 50-100k a month but the path is a bit less strucutred. higher risk and my income would be low for a solid year or two

Getting into a top hedge fund is extremely difficult. Even an economics or finance degree from a top tier university like the Ivy league or LSE. doesn’t guarantee it. most analysts come from top schools, have CFA levels cleared or prior experience in banking. It’s an elite, high barrier industry with very limited openings and fierce competition.


Ecom has a much lower barrier to entry and scales based on execution not pedigree. You can build something real fast if you understand ads margins But it's riskier no stable paycheck but obviously hedge fund are way more mentally exhausting but

If you can actually get into a hedge fund, it's an elite career path . Very stressful but extremely high paying
