Hedge Fund Recruiting Advice-Incoming MBA (T-15)

I'm looking to join a hedge fund after business school, I understand it is extremely hard but I would still like advice on which funds to look at. Also what can I be doing now to get on their radar?

As I prepare to dive deep into finance and business technologies, I’m reaching out for guidance:

  • Could you share effective networking strategies or recommend specific types of internships that would pave the way into this field?

I value any insights you can provide to help me navigate toward my career goal, even it's criticism.
