Looking for advice as a hedge fund analyst intern this summer.

I was originally intern at a packaged goods company but making a shift this summer to the finance side as I want something with more of a “chase of the next dollar” mindset. I felt the Packaged Goods industry very demotivating and no room for growth.

Im starting in May and it’s a 4 month program at a Small 200m aum firm and i’m looking for advice on how to succeed in my role. My responsibilities consist of assisting with trsde account openings, prime brokerage account openings, position/trade recs, trade settlemts and other stuff. Pretty i’m hoping this community can help me with any advice on how to not only receive an offer after my term but also to get exposed to as much as possible post term.
