Been offered a role within Credit Research at a large long-only asset manager. Need advice

Firm has around $100 billion+ AUM.
I like Fixed Income as an asset class a lot but I've always been interested in Equities.
Would you say it's easy to transition from Credit Research to Equity Research after a few years?
What would you do in my position as someone who wants a role as an Equity Research Analyst as opposed to a Credit Research Analyst?
I don't want to go back and get an MBA just to transition asset class.

Bringing coffee to the boss is the same at both stock and bond shops.

I want to be on the 'mutual fund buyside'.
The hours are great, the work is generally interesting, and the pay is good.

Equity guys are always going to be viewed as not risk-averse enough by the fixed income guys, so that could make breaking in harder that way.

Credit is where the big boys are. Equity research is basically obsolete in 2023. Unless you’re in a niche or small cap space. Take it and don’t look back.
