Guidance on Recruiting for Top HF out of Top IB Group

I was wondering if anyone could offer guidance on the process of recruiting out of a top IB group for a top HF (Baupost, Viking, Tiger, Lone Pine, etc.) I was wondering what the best steps would be to prepare for the possibility of these interviews. Besides the standard reading list of the top 10-15 most recommended books that everyone throw around (Margin of Safety, You Can Be a Stock Market Genius, Quality of Earnings, etc....), what is the best way to prep -- are there specific websites you recommend reading through? Do I start trying to craft pitches?

I guess I've come to a point where I feel like there is so many different ways that I could spend my time, and I'm not sure what's the best use of time to maximize my odds. I'm basically looking for the most efficient way to become fluent enough in the world of investing so that I could hold my weight in an interview if given the opportunity down the line. I became interested in investing at a pretty late stage in college, so I feel like I have so much catching up to do with my peers who have been reading on this stuff since freshman year.

Also, is it more advisable to target recruiting for ME / UMM PE opportunities first? Ideally I would like to skip that step, but of course, if that is what would set me up with the best opportunities, I am definitely open to taking that route. I would rather go into PE if I could get a shot at several top HFs rather than just 1-2 out of IB during the recruiting process facilitated by headhunters.
