Corp Finance to Asset Management/Equity Research? Advice?

Hi guys! It has been a while since I've lasted posted on this forum. Right now I just completed an internship in corp fin for a large asset manager (think Fido, State Street, Vanguard, Blackrock, etc) and will be working in corp fin again next summer. Personally, I enjoy the work but I don't see myself working in corp fin over the long-term and would like to work within AM or ER. Are the skills within corp finance transferable and is this switch common or not? Any advice is appreciated!
