List of activist investor HFs?

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone had a list of activist investor HFs. I know everyone knows elliott, pershing square, third point, etc, but I was more curious where I could find a more fulsome list. I've recently been thinking of pursuing a career at an activist HF, and I know how difficult it is getting a seat at one, so if people could also provide guidance on what funds might be easier to break into (vs something like pershing where it's almost exclusively ivy, 2yr BB + 2yr MF stints prior to joining)
