Transitioning From Fixed Income to IB - Advice Needed

Background on me - I'm into my second year as a fixed income S & T analyst on a macro solutions type desk where I work a lot with interest rates. I have been thinking for the last few months about getting into investment banking and learned how to model in my free time as the excel work my desk does is pretty simple.

My question is what type of group might be best or most consistent with my skillset to lateral over to? I know a lot about banking regulations and debt products so my first thought was a FIG group or something in DCM but could use advice on what direction to take here. Any thoughts are welcome and thanks.
