Bruh most hedge funds don't have a "brand name" but I noticed that most other hedge fund people will know of your firm. The hedge fund's I applied to and worked for have never been mentioned in WSO but a lot of industry people know of them. 

Take the hedge fund, it's much more interesting than banking imo. 

 

You’ll sometimes find an opening through handshake or LinkedIn. ALOT of referrals in this industry though.
