Back to IB from VC/Growth?

Hi,

Is it possible to go back to IB at the ~VP level after a couple/few years in VC or Growth equity? Understand it's not uncommon for people doing LBO's and the like given the skill set, but has anyone seen it happen for people who were doing earlier stage work?

Thank you

Valid point. I think IB gets a bad rap, but I would be lying if I said I was not interested in getting my feet wet in actual investing.
