Best NYC non-tiger cub SM HFs and LOs

Incoming ER associate going working with a top II ranked analyst. I want to either to SM HF or LO in NYC after my stint. What are some under the radar 2.5+bn SMs and what are the best LOs in NYC?

Some are below $2.5B. Soroban, Palestra, Brave Warrior, Select Equity, Cadian, Scopia, Glenview, Alkeon, Eminence, Eagle Capital, Edgewood Management, Corvex, Sachem Head, Slate Path, XN, Darsana, Deccan Value, Kingdon, Jericho. 

Good luck trying to find a job at any of these places. They collectively hire 3-5 people every year.

3-5 a year is probably undershooting.  I know a few of these have hired 2 each in 2022 and/or 2023.  There are 19 shops in this list.  Actual number should be probably closer to 10 or so.   

Maybe 3-5 people breaking into HF industry since there are some experienced hires littered in there from other HFs.
