Best desks at a BB to summer to get into HF FT?

I was looking to apply to a BB desk SA stint and then hopefully get a FT position at a top HF such as Bridgewater or Citadel, etc... Was wondering what you guys thought, is it better to go more relevant to a fundamental/quant fund or jst whatever desk is perceived as best? thx!

btw the summer position would probably be in HK,

something more quant, FI,

something more quant, FI, derivs, etc. better yet, apply directly to the HFs now. many of them pickup their summers. both my roommates who are in HFs direct out of ug summered at their respective firms

depends on the fund - big

depends on the fund - big funds (ie Citadel, Shaw) have a lot of strategies: rates, fundamentals, stat arb, option arb, etc. Decide what interests you.
