Transfer from RE to HF

Hi Chimps. As the title reads I am looking into the possibility of transferring from a REI Firm to HF.

Would like an overview on how to pursue this course change. I understand you cannot compare the two but has someone made a similar transfer. Are there any courses necessary to prepare myself? What is the strongest route I could go about this?

As a background I am in 2 years at Acquisitions at REI firm - any feedback would be great.
