London - How easy it is to transition from top rating agency (S&P -Moodys - Fitch) to HF (structured finance)

Hi fellow monkeys,

I was wondering how easy it was to move from a role in structured finance (ABS) to Hedge Funds after a few years working in a big three rating agency (S&P -Moodys - Fitch).

Many thanks in advance for your responses !!
