PE Fundraising Roles

I work in Client Management within Wholesale Lending at a BB. (Syndicated Loans Agency).

Summer analyst, 2Y as grad analyst, now AVP.

Decent pay, 3 days remote & rarely work past 5pm.

But I am planning a push into a Fundraising/Sales role as it is the relationship management that I enjoy most/ plays to my strengths. Also seeking challenge as current role doesn't offer much in way of commercial development.

Has anyone any advice for preparing & executing a move like this?

Thanks a lot.
