Sell-Side Research to LO

Hi, I'm a first year (about to be second year) fresh out of university in sell-side research at a BB. Additionally, I'm on an II ranked team (analyst is hall of fame II in their sector) and in a pretty good group (software/healthcare/FinTech/biotech), so good deal flow and frequent interactions with buyside. I get good exposure to clients etc and am enjoying the role quite nicely. That said, I would like to get into an investing role after another year or two. While I am interested in hedge funds, I'd ideally like to take a longer-term view with my investments as opposed to short-term at the Citadels/Point72s/Millenniums like most buyside exits from research. Can anyone offer any tips on making the switch to a LO? Another thought was that because I do well in my current seat and people move around at my bank, I was thinking of potentially trying AM within my BB? Any pros and cons vs banking AM (GSAM/JPAM) vs LO (Fidelity/Wellington)? For what it's worth my background is pretty decent (top target, decent grades, good client exposure on the sell-side, have had good reviews in my current role). Any insights would be appreciated as I know more people in banking, HFs, research, and S&T vs LO or BB AM.
