Hedge Fund Exits

I've seen often that people end up going PE -->HF. Wouldn't the opposite make sense, too? I would think that sifting through tons of information on companies and making investment decisions in a fast paced environment alongside modeling would make HF associates ideal candidates for PE/VC.

Currently considering HF, but I do not want to work in the industry long-term. I would want to gather extensive knowledge about the industry I am interested in. Let me know any thoughts and thanks.
