Best way to play a career pivot to Banking?

Hi All,

I'll try to keep this short and sweet. I'm currently an Associate IT Manager at a F50 in the midwest. 50% of my job is managing people, 50% of my job is traditional IT project management. I'm bored out of my mind. My fiancee has accepted a full time offer in NY starting next summer, so I need to move to New York. I also have zero personal network in New York. I'm following her, and I'm going to make it work, but I do feel like I'm way behind the 8 ball.

I really want to make a pivot to banking, but I'm not sure how to do it. Part of my role is running slides for the C-level officers of my company. I'm always fascinated by the CFO's meetings and the financial aspects of the other meetings. IT, Manufacturing, Marketing, and Sales puts me to sleep. We were involved in some M&A activity that was fascinating to hear about, and stock buybacks, debt reorganization, etc. always keep my attention.

I like my current employer, but as a new hire, I accepted the job 6 months before I started, and was placed in a role based on headcount ~30 days before my start date. The role I was placed in is both non-technical and unfulfilling.

I graduated from a non-target state school in December with a B.S. in Information Systems with a good GPA. I'm also a disabled (but don't advertise it) veteran that was in a technical/quantitative role. I have no qualms about starting over as an analyst and putting in some hard years, and I know I'm going to have to hustle and make someone give me a chance, I guess I'm just looking for a place to start.

I think the boat on summer 19 analyst recruiting has just about sailed? Someone suggested trying to work my way into an off-cycle gig that would start in January, but I'm not sure how feasible that is either.

An idea I had, but have no idea if its feasible, is to try to work my way into a January internship, and hope that at the end of the spring I can earn my way into a full time position. I'm not opposed to quitting my job and taking the chance on an internship, I just don't know how that would be looked upon in the industry. Thoughts?
