HF from a MM IB Background

Have you seen anyone with a MM IB background break into the HF space? All the LinkedIn profiles I've seen are people with BB/EB and MF PE backgrounds.

I'm currently in the middle of LMM PE stint in the midwest and came from a mid/top tier MM IB in Chicago. Would running hard at HF recruiting be a waste of time for me simply due to credentials?

“Destiny is a gift. Some go their entire lives, living existences of quiet desperation, never learning the truth that what feels as though a burden pushing down upon their shoulders is really a sense of purpose that lifts us to greater heights. Never forget that fear is but the precursor to valor, that to strive and triumph in the face of fear is what it means to be a hero. Don’t think. Become.”
