Getting job/internship in a hedge fund?

What is the easiest way to get job in hedge fund industry as somebody who just finished with his university degree?

regards

I´m here from central Frankfurt and I know some of them .
It´s not that hard as it sounds to get a job as a trader there!
Some of the smaller ones accept trackrecords and keep an eye on your trading.
Their interest is a small drawdown and a small but stable profit .

One of my friends has a portofoliomanagement , but they are not intrested in forextraders .
Only Dax and metals is in their interest.
I had this kind of conversation two years ago , when I trippled my account in 5 months ..
But it´s a game with the devil ..
I had an offer for trading a small account of them , but I was not intrested
to work for them and write a statement every evening .

So you don't get fixed salary in Germany, but only what you get is how much profit you make right? I was in frankfurt last week, its quite expensive city to live in :/

Just hit the pavement and shoot out resumes and talk, talk, talk to other people. Salaries depend on the fund but most of the time you are allotted a base + performance. Portfolio managers usually don't come into fruition until later in their careers. Analyst is always the first step. Most of the guys I worked with were like me - started on the sell side then weaned over to the buy side. I would recommend shooting for bank trading floor jobs and I wouldn't try so hard or get fixated on FX. This is an extremely small world despite the amount of money that passes through it.

Well I would work in investment bank or hedge fund, but number of applicants is crazy in last few years. There was one hedge fund conference in London for students 6000 students applied only 300 were taken. So basically you must be from top tier universites or making big money as trader for your own to get job in finance trading industry.
I am finishing now masters degree in finance at university in Ljubljana and I am applying to internships in biggest banks but its hard to get, I don't make it in 2nd round. So only option for people like me, is to get some normal job and to trade for theirselves with own money and maybe later in carrer to get in top hedge funds/ inv. banks. Only smartests/luckiest students get a decent job at begging of carrer.
