Should I go to the other side first before starting thinking if I want to?

Joined the bank about a year ago. Still not sure what I want to do in the future (sector, banks or funds, credit or equity), but kinda feel FOMO about not starting to prepare for jumping to PE (CV, modeling, interviews).

I don’t know yet if I want to do PE, but kinda afraid it’ll be too late to jump when I actually figure out.
