Fidelity/Capital Group Research Associate vs Lower EB IB Analyst

Title. Long term, I can see myself staying in public markets either in LO or LS, but I am also interested in early stage investing (growth equity and VC).

I'm aware that IB is the well-trodden path to private markets, but from a top LO AM and with an early switch, could this transition be possible?
