HF MO to FO?

Hi yall, 

I'm interning at a megafund this summer in the middle office. I would really love to receive a full-time offer in the front office, in this fund or another fund, as a trader or an analyst. I was wondering if you guys have seen people successfully do this in the past and have any advice on breaking in. I'm down to work really hard and have a solid background.
