career transition from Restructuring advisory to PE?

I am currently in restructuring advisory, but am planning to move on to PE if possible.

Does anyone know whether such transition is common? I am aware that a lot of former consultants move on to

distressed funds, but hoping to receive some more real-life advice if possible.
