Transition from Acquisitions at Developer to REPE

Does anyone know how difficult it would be to transition from acquisitions at a developer to acquisitions at a REPE fund? 

- thinking it might make sense to target the opportunistic funds within these repe firms / or focus on repe firms that do primarily opportunistic (would be comfortable performing analysis as the LP in a GP dev deal, maybe not so much with other types of value-add scenarios that an opportunistic team would look at)

Also, from the interviewer standpoint, what would be the potential weaknesses you would try to dig into for a candidate coming from a development acquisitions background

did some research and found out this thread, they dug into it and it seems like strengths (operating experience and can confidently test assumptions when looking at deals) and weaknesses (don't see as many markets and asset classes due to specialization + don't see as much deal flow)
