Implying that more than a hundred or so people get brought in to hedge funds, pe shops/vc out of college.

/u/educatedcitizen, do the cfa program, go to wallstreetoasis and maybe get a masters in finance. On campus recruiting is strong.

300 hours of studying per level, at least. Mostly superfluous, and heavy on theory, not that applicable to actual investing, but it gives you a broad understanding of how people think about a bunch of areas that are fundamental to investing.

Hi Steve. I am a hedge fund analyst for an emerging markets fund, and I sometimes go looking around for information on companies that aren't gaap when I'm thinking of an idea. I have looked at a number of sites for lay downs and I find market watch to be pretty bad for converting non US statements to gaap. What's the deal with that? Things just don't line up. Its just not as good as, say, businessweek.
