Just graduated, starting work at a top BB (JPM/GS/MS), in a group in their Investment Management arm. Have interned at 2 small hedge funds throughout my college career. Wanted to know, for those of you who actually work at top hedge funds, how I should prepare myself throughout my 3-5 year career before business school to make sure I have a good shot at top hedge funds. What are top target MBA schools for large funds?
Any advice is helpful. Books, classes, websites, tests (CFA, the HF one).
