From PB-->HF

Hello Everyone,

I just recently accepted an offer to work as an analyst on the Private Banking/Asset Management desk at a BB. My long term goal is to work at a hedge fund and I was wondering if anyone had any advice on the matter. I am trying to position myself well for the future and I want to make sure I do not make any mistakes no that could inhibit me from achieving my dream. Just a little background: I have a 3.5 studying engineering from a non-target, but very competitive engineering school. I have had internships at HFs and IB, as well as done research in derivatives pricing.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
