What is the best way to get into a global macro hedge fund?

1) What is the path to getting into a global macro fund?
- What BB S&T desks would be the best starting points?
- Or would banking -> PE -> global macro be feasible at all?

2) Besides Moore, Bridgewater, Brevan Howard, what is a list of the best ones?

Thanks!
