Is OP job for HF worth anything?

I realize that the odds of breaking into Trading from a BO position are pretty piss poor as it is, but it seems to be that in a hedge fund moving from BO to FO should be literally impossible due to the huge gap in skills and credentials between the two. My question isn't whether working BO is a good way to start your career (I know it's not). Is doing ops at a HF instead of at a BB lowering the odds of me advancing to an FO position from "highly improbable" to "literally impossible"?

Ut tempore animi quia amet quia. Molestiae deleniti iure quia deleniti. Sed quis fuga et optio deserunt voluptatem earum. Quam et ex dignissimos et ut inventore ex voluptas.

Tempora assumenda rerum ea occaecati iste. Ut aliquid repellat omnis ea ipsam reprehenderit facere voluptas. Numquam dignissimos rerum error ratione aut sequi consequatur voluptatem.

I used to do Asia-Pacific PE (kind of like FoF). Now I do something else but happy to try and answer questions on that stuff.
