Product Manager to Growth Equity or PE/Growth Operations?

Incoming PM at one of the big name startups - wondering how common/easy it is to go to a growth investing or growth/pe portfolio operations role.

Interned in investment banking, but by no means knowledgeable about financial accounting (although something I could pick up).

Thanks!
