Consulting to Sales & Trading or Private Equity?

Hey,

How hard is it to switch to fixed income sales & trading or, completely differently, private equity from a position like EY FSO BCP? What roles would be realistically achievable? Are there certain types of projects that would help? What are some of the more common exit ops?
