How hard to switch from CB to IB?

Currently working at a BB firm under the CIB umbrella, with my position as an analyst in corporate banking. Any advice on how hard of a switch is to go from CB to IB side. Background, I already have long hours (work till 11-midnight most nights) and would rather switch to IB early on for slightly increased hours than try to make a switch when its too late into career. As a bonus I did training with IB as well.
