Trader's Path to Buy Side

Can you go from being a trader in S&T at a BB or EB to then move to the buy side, perhaps a hedge fund let's say?

This would be instead of doing IBD and then moving to the buy side because fuck 20 hr work days lmao

If yes, what is this process, any help would be greatly appreciated!
