Career Resources
You should really finish your internship first before thinking about transferring. You might end up really liking whatever your doing.
Why IBD anyways? Why do you want to transfer? Don't transfer for the wrong reasons.
Most people within the bank would be more than happy to talk to you if you just email them and ask to set up a meeting. Make sure that you let your VP know though, or things might get ugly (managers aren't happy when you go behind their back to get another job). Also, be sure to realize that for most internal transfers, the first person that the recruiters for that particular department will talk to will be your VP.
Tell your VP that you've loved AM/S&T but are interested in investigating the other opportunities at your bank. If he's receptive ask for any contacts that he may have, if he's not happy then just drop the issue. You won't get an offer anyway, and you might as well work hard at AM/S&T to get that return offer.
I'm going to go the opposite route of the first response. I think you should be speaking with people about this as early as possible. Hopefully you are at a firm where the culture rewards performance and honesty and where people are supportive of each other. If that is the case, you should first look to identify both a mentor and a sponsor. Rarely will they be the same person. The mentor is someone who will guide you with information, advice, and counsel, someone who will be there for you no matter what you are doing, which firm you are with, or how you progress. A sponsor is someone who will go to bat for you and protect your interests within the firm you're both at.
Bounce ideas off your mentor, and be candid with your sponsor. Demonstrate that you are committed, hard-working, enthusiastic, prepared, and motivated (and to do all that, you need to actually work hard), and above all that you love and prioritize the firm ... but you are not confident that your current role is best for you right out of undergrad. They should respect your maturity enough to help get you where you will both maximize your value to the firm (by being happy) and where you feel most comfortable.
If that's not the case, you aren't at a firm you would want to be at anyway. Best of luck. I went through an identical situation myself, I do hope things work out in your favor.
