You ace interviews by having good ideas to be honest. There’s not much that goes on beyond that 

 

There’s a few threads on WSO related to this. I’d suggest looking for them, there was one called “how to come up with good ideas” or something or the other. Googling stock pitches might help too. 

Figure out what type of hedge fund you want to join and practice coming up with ideas that work under that strategy. It’ll help you prepare and also help you figure out if it’s what you want to do for a living.
