Move from Corporate Finance to PE/HF Recommendations

All,

Curious as to your thoughts and path on how best to make a move from Corporate Finance to PE/HF. I'm not being challenged right now andor competing. I enjoy working directly with our CFO, CEO and BOD, but I feel as though I'm missing something. A few data points are as follows: 28yrs-old, Director of FP&A and Stratregy at publicly traded company, MS in FE and ~70hrs a week. (Oddly, would like to stay away from Python/Quant jobs)

Appreciate any recommendations and advice.
