Recruiting at HBS as a former quant

Fortunate to be going to HBS next year - have experience in quant investment management on the strategy and some IR experience. Want to maximize my comp, but fairly open-minded in terms of potential roles. Anyone have any advice for breaking in terms of technicals to prep and realistic seats to target given I'm transitioning as a quant? Know that PE roles and the like are very unlikely given I don't have the background.
