Energy Analyst to Hedge Fund

I realize that this has been asked maybe in a different way but if someone could discuss a move they successfully made from a sellside firm as an energy, oil, nat gas analyst etc to a major hedge fund that would be great.

bananafreakwhat type of HF? global macro trading commodities? or company specific?

if you are sellside oil and gas companies analyst, dont think it would be hard to move to company specific HF as the space is fairly complex. Haven't seen commodities analyst (not company specific) move to HF trading E&P companies though

like from equity based sellside to equity based hedge fund or energy based hedge fund where they trade raw nat gas or crude oil etc.

Also, sellside desk analyst not ER analyst
