London - Move from MM to UMM/MF - Possible?

Hi Monkeys,

I am debating accepting an offer to join London office of a U.S. MM Specialist PE focusing on Tech.

My key consideration is if later down the road would it be possible for me to lateral to UMM / MF?

I expect to get plenty of deal experience, as the shop has high transaction volume. Think that this coupled with industry expertise that I hope to develop could help me lateral, should I want to.

I am currently Analyst at a BB and I weight my options to jump on this opportunity vs. wait a bit longer and trying to get UMM/MF offer next recruiting season, which is uncertain given the state of the market and competitiveness of the processes.
