Credit to PE

Currently fielding interest for Credit roles at megafunds (KKR, Apollo types).  I think credit is interesting, but I think I might ultimately like to pursue PE at some point.  Is it hard moving from Private Credit analyst to PE associate?  Do private credit professionals have opportunities to move into hedge funds?
