Advice on S&T ETF support Desk lateral role over to IB

Have a well rounded rounded background but ended up on this side because of an opportunity to work at bank, fast tracking to becoming a trader but realized its not for me. I am familiar with valuation methods and brushing up on my technical interview guides, have an interesting story and solid reason for jump. Job market for junior talent has never been since pre ‘08 and see it as a solid opportunity. Any suggestions?
