How hard is it to break into the industry as an experienced analyst?

Going to be doing corp strategy for fin services firm starting in a few months and know that IB is where I want to go long term. I plan on taking the Series 63 and SIE exam and was wondering how difficult it is and/or what steps should be taken to try breaking into the industry? Appreciate the help!
