Anything is possible if you are good.

But just look at linkedin to see which is the most trodden path for the least risk (if that's what you are looking for).

If you start in buy side, you may want to work on your technicals as sometimes your PM / partner might want to do something they are familiar with (esp public markets) and you might not get to do the same kind of high precision, granular modelling (esp at a point of transaction with full transparency into many metrics). But you will be more developed in your thinking and ability to take a more differentiated view on assets, taking into industry-specific peculiarities or other factors.

Opposite for sell-side training, you probably can go in-depth into complexity and processes and most folks trust you've had the regimental training, but you don't really own your assumptions. Some sell-side folks I've interviewed build a nice-looking model but most items are just CAGRed out based on L3Y financials with no real view on why they are doing so. So building on 'buy side' thinking will be important.
