Ask HN: Approached to be consultant for hedge fund research group
3 points by matt_the_bass on Nov 30, 2018 | hide | past | favorite | 3 comments
Hi all Does anyone have any experience working as an industry expert consultant for a hedge fund run research group? I recently was and they seem legit as in they are part of a major fund. They offered to pay me a really high retainer for about 1 hour per month of conference call to discuss things in my industry. This seems a little too good to be true. Any thoughts?


Take a retainer.

Unless they are operating from Nigeria and are asking a small fee to initiate wire transfer of retainer.


What’s the worst case scenario anyway?


Do they need anyone else? :)
