I want to be on the 'mutual fund buyside'.

The hours are great, the work is generally interesting, and the pay is good.

In that case, to answer your question, I would not say it's an "easy transition", although I think it's likely easier than having to go the other direction. 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.
