Day in the life of a L/S Equity PM
3:30am - wake up in a cold sweat from the memory of your IB VP calling you a fucking retard
5:30am - get to the office and plug into bloomberg. Investor relations girlies are doing the firm sponsored pilates class in the firm owned gym. You ask yourself why you chose this career
8:30am - finish reading your emails. Sell-side has downgraded your entire long book and upgraded your entire short book. Excellent
12:30pm - stare into the bathroom mirror and contemplate killing yourself
12:35pm - take the 2nd biggest shit of your life
1:30pm - risk reaches out reminding you that you have too much exposure to the dividend yield factor. Thank you
2:30pm - head out to grab lunch. Homeless man with an iPhone and gucci sweatshirt pisses on your Sperrys. Good reminder to vote for Mamdani, he’ll fix this
4:15pm - reviewing exposures and performance, realize you made 1.5bps today. Sweet
7:00pm - yell into the abyss (Murray Hill) on your way home
10:30pm - go to bed. Dream of ways to acquire MNPI without getting flagged by compliance
