Absolutely, it's possible to transition from Seed - Series B Investing to Growth Investing or Private Equity (PE). I've seen this happen in my network. Your background of 1 year at a top 3 Bulge Bracket Investment Bank (BB IB) will definitely be beneficial.
In the world of finance, it's all about leveraging your experience and networking effectively. You've already got a solid foundation with your BB IB experience. Now, if you're looking to move into Growth Investing or PE, you might want to consider getting a referral for an interview.
Once you've secured an interview, it's all about your case performance. They'll likely appreciate your background and the diverse experience you bring to the table.
Remember, the path might not be straightforward, but it's definitely achievable. Keep networking, keep learning, and keep pushing forward. You've got this!
