VC/PE to Equity Research research, valuation, particular, experience, like

Wanted to get the take from someone on the inside about this...

I've been trying to break into buy side equity research for some time now (hence CFA). Unfortunately this has been an uphill battle. Seems like my experience (valuation) fits more to a PE/VC type gig. I've considered starting to look at this as a stepping stone to public equity.

Any thoughts on the transferability of skills from PE/VC due diligence to a public equity setting? In particular VC as that seems like the place where the most opportunities are available to me right now.
