Non target pivot to VC/PE possible?

Has anyone successfully pivoted from consulting (in my case, it's sales strategy) to VC / PE / IB (descending preference order)? Would like some advice on how to go about it and feedback on my profile.

Elementary details:

Country- India B-School- Non-target Total Work Ex- 7.5 (initial 4.3 enterprise tech sales, latter 3.2 in sales strategy consulting)

Reason for targeting this pivot- Money + prestige + acceleration towards CXO table

Why now- I feel AI agents will drastically cull middle management roles and skew income and wealth inequality even more, and I want to be on the side which will fare better
