If you're looking for a contracting role, you could always try a hedge fund. Balyasny Asset Management, the multi-strategy fund which cut 20% of its staff in 2018 and has subsequently gained 10% in 2019 through to July, is among those availing itself of contract staff. It just parted company with one contractor who had a curious job title. Insiders say Scott Miller, who was working in 'Idea Liason' at Balyasny in San Francisco, according to his LinkedIn profile, has left the fund. Balyasny declined to comment, but Miller's three-month contract was understood to be at an end.
