Sales do not require you to read news, monitor market movement unlike in trading. If one is in sales, I can confidently say 0 chance to become a PM.

To answer your question, hedge funds hire TAs, execution traders, dealers and PMs only from sell side traders if ever.
thanks! interesting to know.

i'm actually going down the capital markets route. what kind of exit opportunities do you see for ecm/dcm from an investment bank?
