The job below is from a reputable headhunter in the hedge fund industry. I think some of you may be interested and have the qualifications. Just pm me and I'll send you the contact info. In your pm (as a small favor for me in return for the info), can you please attach your resume? The reason I ask is because I am curious about the backgrounds of people on ET and I want to get a feel. I will not do any pre-screening or anything like that. I will send the info to anyone who pm's me. I am not affiliated with the hedge fund or headhunting firm at all. If you are concerned about confidentiality, feel free to hide any identifying info on your resume. You may want to leave a message here to let me know that you sent me a pm (I do not stay logged in all the time).
