Planning to switch to FPGA domain, any advice would be highly appreciated

Hi ,
Currently i am working with a Semiconductor Design House as a PDK
Application Engineer. My primary job function is to support the
design teams with PDK(this icludes, DRC/LVS, LPE ,models,
techfiles..etc) related issues. I have been working in this filed for
almost 3 years. I am interested in exploring Synthesis, Place & Route
more than compared to what i am doing right now. Recently I got an
opportunity in FPGA domain. This new job offers exposure to synthesis
and P&R in FPGA domain. I dont have much knowledge about FPGA, i am
not sure how different will it be from the ASIC world. Will this add
to my earlier work experience that i have in Semi Custom/Asic
domain ?
To be more specific, will a Designer who has been working on FPGAs be
acceptable in ASIC world, will he have the almost same market value
in ASIC domain ? If i switch then will my earlier wrk exp be scraped.
If anybody could help me evaluate/(provide some feedback) on these
concerns, it would be highly appreciated. That would help me make a
right move for my career.

Thanks & Regards
Lucky
