Stitch Fix Interview Misfire
Share
Sahil shares a story about dodging a bullet when he failed a final interview at a hedge fund after pitching Stitch Fix stock.
"The path I was considering was to join a crossover hedge fund that does investments in private tech companies. For my final interview, I had to pitch a stock and they gave me Stitch Fix. I had a week to decide if it was a buy or short.
I did a week of research, made this long deck, did all this work - it was miserable. The stock was trading at $46 at the time, having come down from $100 during the whole Archegos/Bill Hwang pump up of stocks.
I pitched it as a buy, got rejected because my pitch was bad. Now that stock is trading at $3.56. So I would have taken that path and gotten fired within 6 months for sure."
