Broadly, do Growth Equity Assos get looks from HFs?

Got two options.

UMM PE, or top 10 GE shop.

I’m leaning towards the GE shop as the team look fantastic, but I Want to end up in HF after asso years.

Do I still have a chance if I go to GE instead of PE?

Is there a reason why PE is more favourable than GE for HF, investing style seems pretty similar?

how many GE guys end up in HF seats?
