Moving from P&U IB to Corp Dev

Hi, ignore my title, but I am a 2nd year analyst in P&U IB. I am doing alright here, but I want to exit banking. Not many PE buyside opps active ATM, so I am looking at corp dev too. There's a Canadian based company Northland Power looking to hire. Should I try recruiting for their corp dev and then try to exit PE a couple of years down the road? How could the move be perceived? 

 

No comments on this? Anyone who looks at infra can please chime in?

 

Thank you for your response! Appreciate you responding as going by your posts, you appear to be an experienced practitioner. Not a ton of hiring going on in Canada and UK which is where I am looking. Since you've been in the industry for some time, can I please ask you to expand on what'd you consider large cap infra funds that would be less open to ppl like me?
