How to switch from Commercial Banking to IB?

Hi guys, I've been working in a commercial bank for less than 2 years (after a short experience in Consulting) but I am looking for a change in my career, having the strong desire to entry in the IB industry.

Unfortunately I must admit that it could be too late to have a chance (no any possibility to obtain an intnership at tha age of 27 nor to be hired as analyst without any previous experience in IB neither).

I'm writing in this forum because i want to achieve this gol with all of my will but I don't know how to do it and any kind of tip of you would be very very very appreciated! Thanks in advance
