A year ago, Nick Hamilton submitted a forecast to this competition. Today he's an Investment Associate at Bridgewater.
In this conversation, Nick sits down with Will Barnes, Head of Policy Research, to walk through the submission that won—what his thinking looked like, how his framework held up under scrutiny, and what the leap from winner to colleague actually felt like.
This isn't a hypothetical career path. It's the one Nick took.
