Starting off a PA -- risk/drawdown limits?

Hello seasoned investment professionals!
I'm starting off at an MBB soon, and ultimately I would like to end up in an investing role. I have read on this forum that sometimes firms or HHs may ask for a PA track record. I am planning on starting mine with the money I have saved up as a student. I want to replicate HF investing (instead of just holding some growth stocks with the hope that they become multi-baggers by the time I am interviewing), so what would some realistic risk/drawdown limits I should implement. Any tips & help would be greatly appreciated!
