HY/LL credit to equity L/S as an early career move?

Does this happen, and if so, how? Currently in HY/LL credit research straight out of u/g for about a year and was looking to move to an equity L/S seat. I naturally tend to be looking for growth and upside in my names and am thinking that equities might be a better fit for me.
