How tough is it to move from a fund's MM Strat to large Cap Strat?

MM fund size 1bn - 1.5bn.

Large Cap size 4bn - 6bn.

If you'd experience at a big name M&A shop and had handled deals of the large cap size, and you end up in the MM fund size. What typically, would be the best way to go about moving up into the bigger fund? And how hard is this?
