Does anyone on here play in the NBA / NFL and if so what are the hours, WLB, and culture like?
Funny, but I'm genuinely interested in hearing more about what the company is like on the inside
Mate, like 10 people work on the investment team. None of them are on WSO, they're out on their yachts.
Nobody at Pershing square is on WSO
Why is that you think
Same reason why no one in the NBA is on r/basketball or Basketball Oasis
The moment you asked this second question moved your chance of getting a job at Pershing from 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% to 0%
Lmao seriously?
lol I don't agree... Not sure why so many people think that an analyst role at a Pershing / Baupost / Greenlight type shop is necessarily that desirable. yes, the principals of those funds are raking in $10's of millions per year (even when they underperform) but if anything they can use their cache to underpay their analysts. That's not to say I don't think those analysts are making good money, I just don't think working for a superstar PM is really the pinnacle of success on wall street as it comes with some downsides as well.
Pershing doesn't underpay it's analysts
Why anyone cares or wants to work there is beyond me. No shorting or actual alpha generation, just beta riding. Way more impressed with someone who is at citadel or p72 where you actually pick stocks on a differentiated view. Also, where do PS guys go afterwards? Not really a marketable skill set to invest in 1 business a year
Yeah but they get paid very well and have almost no turnover so who cares about marketable skills
I don't think people look at going to Pershing as a path to build a skill set to go elsewhere. The bet you make is that you can stick around long enough to clip enough $$$ to not need to go anywhere else after.
You can never get a SM HF post without the pod bois jumping in. Yeah your $300-500k job is so much better than getting paid millions to "ride beta"
Honestly you have a better shot at tweeting at Ackman vs. getting one of his 7 analysts to anonymously post of WSO
Pershing Square analyst here, AMA.
What's the WLB life and is the work modeling centered? Or mostly just market research?

There's a rumor that Bill can now do 12 pullups, is that true?
