Tech Consulting to IBD (downward) lateral?

I know this is a longshot, but I'm wondering if anyone has ever done this successfully.

I'm a Senior Consultant at Deloitte (Manager level at PWC, EY, KPMG) (Associate at MBB) in tech consulting, and I'm bored out of my mind. I mostly build financial modelling tools for pharma and healthcare firms, and like the finance aspect way more than the tech aspect of it.

I was in the military so I'm a non-traditional age, and really trying to avoid the MBA route if I can. Went to a non-target school and got an Information Systems degree.

Is it possible to lateral (downwards) to an analyst position in ibd? Anyone know anyone who's ever done it?

For shits and giggles, in theory, how would one go about doing this?
