Job Search Advice - Worked at a well known hedge fund

I recently worked at a well known hedge fund in a middle office role for the past 4 years. I am getting my MBA part time and will be done in the next 3-4 months. I have 3.5 undergrad GPA from top 30 college, but not ivies by any means. I'm looking to break in to the front office, preferably in junior trader role, but open to anything. I have offers for funds, but staying in middle office, and am considering while doing my MBA. Anyone able to offer best advice to leverage my skills/schooling and secure FO role? Any help appreciated.
