Part II of our conversation with Cameron Boland and Kate Kourlis from executive recruiting firm GoBuyside.  Our focus shifts to off-cycle recruiting for private equity firms and hedge funds.  We discuss strategies for navigating your search for your next career, identifying opportunities that set you up for success, do's and don'ts for negotiating the offer, and how recruiters are incentivized to help you succeed.  We also tackle the CRITICAL listener question of: what do I need to know if I'm an international applicant and not a US citizen?  

Cameron Boland is the President of GoBuyside, and Kate Kourlis is the Executive Director of Business Development.  GoBuyside is a community of professionals in the financial services industry. GoBuyside connects employers with top-tier talent, streamlining the hiring process and ensuring access to great candidates for exceptional roles.
