Middle office

Hi everyone, I am an incoming 'Quantitative Research Analyst' at JP Morgan India. I have a top engineering degree with good grades. I wanted some advice as to what should I study outside office hours to make a switch to front office roles/ hedge fund QR roles. Any help is much appreciated.
