Thinking of joining PhD

Hey I recently finished Ms finance (less quants). Career goal is to work in hedge fund but I have no internship or full-time work experience which made it hard for now.

Thinking of working for a while and go for PhD in a couple of years, heard that hedge fund may consider quant PhD.

Anyone know what PhD schools to go for? Or any suggestions are really appreciated.

Cheers!
