Too late to join MF PE as an A2A IB Associate?

I started as an analyst in summer 2021 at a BB. Was previously in a coverage group for my analyst years and moved to M&A team (summer '23) for my associate years. In my coverage group, I just didn't get enough deal exposure or enough modelling experience, hence the move to M&A. I told myself if I were to move to PE, it'd have to be an MF, otherwise, would rather just stay in banking. Question is, am I too late at this point to recruit for a MF? Am I destined to just stay in banking forever?
