Currently an MBA1 student that broke into MM PE Ops for the summer. Do I have room to switch from PE Ops to the investing side, negotiate for a VP title or move to a megafund? Is any more likely than the other? H/S student if that helps.

Usually very difficult as the roles and function are different. PE Ops to PE Ops happen a lot.
