i have experience working for a legit hedge fund and another smaller asset manager…
on my resume im wondering how to identify the firm… “XYZ Capital Management” obviously means nothing to someone not specifically familiar with the firm but would it make a difference if I identified it as being owned/controlled by “major IB”?? or should I just say that i worked for the investment bank?
the problem is that there are thousands of what I would call amateur or mickey mouse operations and I want to convey that I worked at a respectable shop. In my case i’m moving to a new city. Also would adding the amount of AUM be tacky?
the example would be that I was a fixed income manager at “Alpha Investment Managers” that means shit… but If I told you Goldman Sachs owns the company would you be more interested? would you just list Goldman Sachs and then later explain the subsidiary? im not knocking on smaller firms, just curious as to how others present their experience.
