About to start Hf recruiting, any advice

Hey everyone, I’m about to start HF recruiting from a euro BB. First year analyst in solid coverage group. Interested in L/S equity but open to both MM and SM (depending on the PM). Know it will be hard but I have the technical skills down and just need to work on a stock pitch or two. Any advice before I start?
