Moving Around in MF?

Have a potential opportunity for a PM role with MF REPE (Carlyle, Brookfield, Blackstone, etc.), and was just curious if anyone has ever transferred internally into a different vertical (PE, energy, infra, whatever). MFs are obviously huge, but what is the internal networking like and ability to move around, if any?

Works at Other, bummer your thread hasn't had a response yet. Maybe one of these threads could point you in the right direction:

This is also highly unlikely. Infra PE has more crossover with traditional PE than with real estate. It may be possible with a more focused PE fund that focuses on both real estate and infra (the only firm I know of that does this is CIM Group).Even BlackRock keeps their infra / energy PE team very separate from its real estate team, although both sit in "Real Assets".I'm currently in Infra / Energy at a MF, and we've never had anyone lateral from a real estate background. We do get individuals from TMT (due to the digital infra scope), natural resources, power, and industrials.
