Lateral in PE

Is going lateral after a two year program normal? Would that go through a head hunter and how intense would that process typically be relative to on-cycle PE recruiting.

Generally more interested in early stage growth equity and buyout is not as much if an interest as I had originally thought.

Welcome advice and thoughts on how to approach
