Switch from Growth Equity to Private Equity

I am considering accepting a SA2020 internship at a top 10 growth equity firm. It does not seem the job is very technical, more so related to soft skills.

How hard of a time would it be to switch to a more standard PE firm as an associate? I would be behind on technicals, but surely that can be learnt?
