Summer Analyst Recruitment Advice

Been looking for some info as far as timelines and what recruiting is like for hedge funds. Just as a background- current rising junior at semi target with offers in trading at a few BBs. Was extremely interested in trading at a BB but am now realizing my skills (decent coding background and quant major) and interests are significantly more aligned for a hedge fund. I have some knowledge on roles at more quant (Citadel, Jane Street, SIG, etc) funds as well as some of the larger (Tiger and Tiger cub funds). Any information as far as recruiting, networking, prepping for interviews, timeline for funds or which funds offer junior to senior year summer analyst programs is much appreciated and thanks in advance for any advice or help..
