Career advice - current AM -> HF?

Hello, using my lurker account to stay anonymous and sorry for the somewhat lengthy question.

Physics Bachelors (non target) and Quant fin masters (semi target just in London). I have always worked in front office aside from a couple of internships and my roles have always been in multi-asset AM (idea generation unconstrained -> now a PM). Gradually I have been focusing in terms of asset class to FX and commodities. Can code, don’t love to code for the sake of it.

The constraints of an AM set up are well known by those in the know but despite only being in the industry for a couple of years they are really beginning to grind on me as now I run a book end to end.

I’ve long wanted to pivot to a HF (accepting that I would come in quite a bit more junior) but due to lack of S&T experience (I suspect, I went straight into AM out of UG) and one specific recruiter using me as bait a few years ago (long story, but well known London based HF recruiter), effectively got me in front of one of their candidates who wanted to join my shop at the time I unsurprisingly have been unable to contact said firm for a while (just ghosted).

So my question is if I want to pivot to a macro hf (intraday -> lower frequency, I am not interested in Hft) type set up, what is the best advice? Is it a case of grind the network ? Proactively work with another recruiter? Not sure the path to take really, but I see a window in front of me which is fast closing.

any thoughts/advice appreciated but tldr: wanting to move from AM -> HF in macro space (Fx/commodities, semi systematic)
