Hey guys. Curious if there's someone who switched from sellside equity research to a hedge fund role here that would want to share about their experience.

I am not a lead analyst yet, but also I hear it's probably too late if you spend 5-6 years on sellside (I have been in sellside for 3 years so far). There's so many different skills that you need in a hedge fund but don't get in sellside (position sizing, risk mgmt etc.).

Taking cfa level 3, earned a T10 MBA before starting in sellside ER, and my coverage is pretty specialized. But there's also fewer hedge funds covering my space, which makes it harder to switch.

I don't want to bring it up to my company, but if I did my MD might actually support me - still, it feels somewhat risky as they are prepping me for a vp role in a couple years or so, given so many funds have been closing/repositioning recently out of my space.

Hey guys, I am wondering if it's at all possible to buy a vehicle pass at the door?

Has anyone lately went to will call with their vehicle and get a pass?

I have tickets but not the vehicle pass.. will try to get it beforehand obviously, but my point is what's the worst case scenario

Edit: internet seems divided. One side says yes, but not guaranteed, and the other side says no (but my gut says straight-up 'no' is misinformation). While optimally we should get the pass in advance, if the best efforts fail, it appears probable to buy them at the box office (albeit not guaranteed and potentially painful depending on the desired entry date)

Edit2: Case closed - I was able to buy a pass from STEP, thanks you all.
