Falcon Edge - quantitative interview test?
Hi guys:
Does anyone know about Falcon Edge Capital Management and can share some words on team and culture (I already read all things available on Google and understand that the team is very well pedigreed).
They seem to have a quantitative test for interview - does anyone know what types of questions to expect? Like market sizing or matching graphic patterns etc?
Thanks!
How did it end up going?
they give people the thurstone test of mental alertness. it's kind of a random test tbh and not really possible to prepare.
i interviewed there and the primary purpose of the interview is to collect write ups / fish for ideas etc
they'll give you some seemingly difficult technical questions (wow!! how selective!!) but most likely you'll just hear from the headhunter what the questions are ahead of time ... i ask a friend who interviewed there a year prior to when i interviewed there and the questions were still the same lol. how they could be as retarded as to not realize people know their questions is beyond me.
Can you share the questions?
what is a hf?

Can anyone give me info on Falcon Edge. It seems a bit shady and that all their money is from Middle East. Also, going for an interview and they seem super cheap when it comes to compensation.
Avoid this fund. It's a joke.
I got that sense. Do they even have any significant AUM? They seem super shady. AND CHEAP!!!
I get a feeling that they run interviews so that they can get ideas from stock pitches that candidates give out.
Just my suspicion, nothing else.
They are not actually hiring. It’s fake - had a bunch of friends do this and it’s just a bunch of tricky accounting / capital allocation questions. The point is to fish you for as many stock pitch ideas as they can at the end.
Surprised that a multi-bn fund that copies Tiger Global on a smaller scale doesn't have a better use for its time...
I don’t know them directly, but they’re a Blue Ridge spinout, which I generally view favorably.
Bump for any other insights
