credit research to L/S equity

hello

Im currently 2 yr at sellside bb credit research, but i dont see myself doing it for long term. im interested to moving to L/S equity from credit research. I know it might be a big jump but I wish to ask for advice on how to make this happen.

some paths im thinking:

sellside credit research - credit CLO/LO - L/S equity?

cr - ibd - l/s equity

cr - equity research - l/s equity

how would be more feasible/likely to join L/S equity? thanks so much for any advice
