Moving from Long / Short to Activist / Special Sits

Hi all,

Had a question about long/short exit opportunities. I was wondering whether I could move to an activists post a stint at a long-short fund (e.g. Citadel, BAM, P72, Millennium)  or a Special Sits PE / Hedge Fund

I guess moving to a long only should be straight forward.

Thanks!
