Hi BillPacman, don't worry, the WSO Monkey Bot is here.... I'm hoping one of these links will help find your answer:
More suggestions...
Fingers crossed that one of those helps you.

Switch banks and don't tell your MD, 0 chance he or she will be cool with it
Do not tell your MD, switch banks if you want to switch sectors as someone above said.
Re: exit opps the sky is the limit but realistically what interviews you get from recruiters (and I advise using recruiters in London for all their faults) are going to depend heavily on what bank you’re at, someone at an ABN will have different prospects from MS/JPM/UBS etc. I’m not trying to be an ass it’s just how recruiters think/work. The best buyside exits that someone coming from a good team at a top London sellside firm and with a good profile could realistically hope for would probably be along the lines of P72/Millennium/Citadel. (Not saying MMs are necessarily the best choice however given what life is like there) You will 99% not be considered for PE obviously. Otherwise going to a corporate you cover is also an option, with better w/l balance and job security but probably less pay.
Once you get the interview you will 100% be tested on your modelling and ability to formulate a view on a stock (obviously), so at that point it’s all up to your abilities and everyone is more or less on the same footing. Be sure to practice modelling from scratch in your first year so you’re ready later on if that’s what you want.

companies have different ways of dealing with this. If the bank has an internal job board, look there, reach out to other teams informally and when ready tell your boss.
He/She won’t like and will tell you he/she’d rather have known earlier. Brush it off because it’s nonsense, no one is going to actively find some other team for you unless you threaten to leave.
The transition will take a little while 1-2months and you’re done.
It happens all the time, don’t worry there won’t be consequences or retaliation
