Moving to buy side from SS ER

Interested if anyone has tips on moving from SS ER to buy side. I get networking is key so maybe more stuff on the actual interview process: how many stocks should I have ready to pitch, is it ok if I only do the companies I cover for pitches?, what are some smart questions to ask the hiring mgr?

Just starting to prepare for interview so any guidance is valuable.
