AM to HF

Hey, I was wondering what the process of leaving a well regarded asset manager in a portfolio managment position for a hedge fund would be like? The position is a buy side er associate basically. Would I be at an advantage in the remix with will hve public markets experience, or will I be at a disadvantage vs the regular ib route. I know more bankers work at hedge funds, but there r also far less am positions, so I was wondering which would actually be a better start to try and eventually pursue a hedge fund? Thanks
