Moving from Corp dev to IB.

Moving from Corp dev to IB.

I started my career in banking (EU BB) and was laid off at the end of 2023. Recently started at a FTSE100 Corp dev role and interested in transitioning back to banking in about a year’s time. Hopefully hiring will also be better by then. Was wondering if this kind of move is common (from Corp dev to IB), and anything I should be doing or keep in mind to increase my chance when ready to recruit. 
Thank you!
