Mitigating Risk of HF Rescinding Job Offers

[qrwitu]

Smaller hedge funds or pods within multi-strat firms have significant risk of blowing up, especially when market is volatile. Earlier this year, many people had their job/internship offers rescinded right before the summer.

Are there any advice on how to best mitigate such risk before accepting an offer with farther start date? Should one keep multiple options as hedge? Appreciate everyone's input.
