PE to L/S Equities

Is it worth making a switch from private equity to L/S Equities? Seems like L/S pays way more at the junior level (Associate / Analyst). For context, I’ve done two years of PE and started straight out of college and have predominantly focused on healthcare investing.

What are the pros and cons? I’m open to both multi and single managers.
