Lateral from Tech FP&A/Strategy to Banking?

What are my odds? 

For context, ~7 years experience, did the 2 year IB analyst program at a BB (think Citi/BofA/CS) in a coverage group back in 2021, left to go to Finance and Strategy in enterprise SaaS and have been working ever since. Started at a tech company valued at $5Bn and then jumped to another high growth SaaS business that was acquired by a large publicly traded company. I was laid off as a part of the transaction and have not been able to find another job in tech for most of the last year. 

Was thinking about leveraging some connections at other banks to get back in, what are my odds?
