Breaking into HF from PE (Growth)

As the title says, is it possible to break into the HF industry coming from a junior role in growth equity? I was thinking it might be if it’s at a tech-focused manager, and if covering names in a growthy vertical (ex: biotech, cyber)


Curious if anyone has advice or stories on this.
