Path from Summer Analyst in S&T to Hedge Fund

Hi everyone,

I would like to ask for your experience on the paths to work in a Hedge Fund. Next summer I will join a BB as a summer analyst in S&T (think GS/JPM/MS) in London. I'm trying to figure out the best moves to make. Which desks should I be eyeing? What skills or knowledge should I be loading up on? Basically any tips or insider info you've got would be super helpful!

Thank you very much in advance!
