Hello and welcome. I'm Patrick Curtis, your host and Chief Monkey, and this is the Wall Street Oasis podcast. Join me as I talk to some of the community's most successful and inspirational members to gain valuable insight into different career paths and life in general. Let's get to it.

In this episode, member Market Beater shares how he broke into Goldman and eventually a

by-side hedge fund role in Hong Kong with a 2.8 GPA. How much he's getting paid now and a key piece

of advice to our listeners to stay motivated. Enjoy. Thank you so much for coming on the Wall Street Oasis podcast. Thank you.

Yes.

It would be great if you could just give the listeners a quick little summary of your background.

Yeah, sure.

So I'm currently a research analyst in a Hong Kong-based equities focused,

value-driven long-bitech fund with 900 million U.S. dollar asset under management and a 10-plus years of track record using an average return of 14% during the 10-plus years.

So it is also awarded by Asia Hedge as the best long-term performing hedge fund in the 500 million to one billion hedge fund category

in one of the past five years. So I personally am a China equities generalist stationed in Hong Kong,

covering X-Share, A-Share, or any China-related U.S. listed ADRs. So I myself was graduated from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology,

one of the free target local schools for investment banking in Hong Kong with a finance and marketing major.

So prior to my current job, I work in an equity hedge fund as an intern in Goldman Sachs as

a gap year China Equity Strategy Analyst engaging in China macro research and also quantitative

trading strategy research.

And another investment bank, highly reputable in equities research in Asia, covering small

recap for one and a half year and China and guests for another half year

So all those were all of those internships before you kind of jumped into this hedge fund role

This analyst role? Oh no no actually only the first hedge fund work is an internship

Got it. Okay and so you graduated about four years ago.

Is that correct from undergrad from the Target University?
