如何使工作更加社交?

I know most (not all)HFjobs are solitaryin nature and you spend many hours a day analyzing/reading/etc on your own, with the occasional conversation with a colleague or the weekly team meeting. But by and large, the job is less social or interactive than other finance jobs.

For those of us who like investing but at the same time want to get our necessary dose of interaction and social engagement every day through our jobs (since are probably working till 7-8pm and likely won't have the time/energy to go out and socialize with friends after work), what tactics or ideas have you potentially used to make things work?

可能仅适用于分析级。我喜欢打很多电话(销售人员不烦人的来电)。让我有机会一直通过书面研究与某人交谈。它也更加活跃,我不太可能无效地盯着狗屎。现在,会议和午餐还回来了,也有。除此之外,人们还说,人们说与其他投资者保持咖啡的网络有关。平均而言,这是一项孤独的工作。

Thanks, I like the idea of calls. Can you specify more on what kind of people you speak to, and how you connect with them if you have no prior relationship? I find speaking to sell-side or IR annoying, but is it normalized in the industry to speak very regularly (a couple times a week with folks at other funds) about ideas or whatever? Or if say you want to learn about a new industry and wants to speak live to some people in the industry, how do you make them want to talk to you if it's not through an expert network?

Trick I learned when I was on the sell side that is fun and useful to your career. Just call people.

Haven't talked to the IR of a certain company in a while? Give him a call. Ask him what he thinks of acquisition XYZ. Call a random sell sider. Get their thoughts on something. Shoot the breeze. Schedule a lunch with someone who works in the industry. Pick their brain on topics, make friends also, and have fun.

I understand. I have a daily meeting with my PM talking about the market and our portfolio. Couple of online panels from the sell-side as well and I can ask questions if I want to. Also have calls with the sell side analysts from time to time. But personally I don't mind enjoying that solitude. It gives me time and space to keep my ideas roasted.

我认同。我也在大学期间主修哲学,所以我想这对我来说很自然。
