Corporate Finance to ER?

I know that corporate finance is commonly considered an exit opportunity from Equity Research, but does this go the other way around? Can someone with industry experience on the corporate side make the move into equity research?

Sorry if this is already a topic, most search results I found were about going from ER to CF.

Thanks.
