Having come vs coming from

I had started my career as a pharmacy technician in community pharmacy before moving into hospital pharmacy.
Having come from community pharmacy, I found the role as a clinical pharmacy technician a bit challenging.
Coming from community pharmacy, I found the role as a clinical pharmacy technician a bit challenging.
The above are made up sentences. I am learning to use participle clauses. Are they both sound natural? What is the difference in meaning.
