About 1.5 years into full time IB and looking to switch to sales and trading. For context I did my SA in S&T then landed a full time in IB.
I realized how much I miss S&T specifically the FICC desk. Can anyone provide any insight or advice on how easy/hard it is to lateral from IB to S&T or any advice overall
Thanks!

Curious, why you want to jump back? I always wanted to do IB but couldn't crack a top bank. Got into S&T program at BB and was able to make the leap over for FT. Would not want to go back in the slightest. If you already went through the switch one time in HR I have a hard time seeing them being enthusiastic about you going back. Maybe look at another bank? Although you would definitely be starting as a 1st year again.
My thoughts are really looking from a long term standpoint. I do like IB but if I want to stay in for the long game I really love the energy and pace of S&T
