BB IB to HF

Interested in eventually landing at a l/s or activist hedge funds. Anyone have insight on the process? I assume it's less structured than PE on-cycle. 

Is it possible to recruit for both PE/HFs or will I need to declare a preference here. I see pros/cons to both public and private markets, so looking to maximize brand/comp for the short-term until I figure things out.  

 

Intern in IB - Cov, hey, look at the bright side, at least you didn't get a ton of monkey shit thrown at you...here is my best guess on threads that might be helpful:

More suggestions...

Hope that helps.
