Demystifying the Buyside

Launch event · Live panel + Q&A · 5 speakers

Our launch event brought together a panel of buyside professionals from hedge funds, sell-side, data and recruitment to answer the questions you can't get honest answers to anywhere else. Real career paths, how they broke in, and what they look for when hiring. No PR, no corporate speak.

🎥 Recording coming soon. Subscribe to the calendar above and we'll share it with the community.
