Corporate Finance to Equity Research?

Hey all,

So I completed an internship in corp fin this summer for a large asset manager (think Fido, State Street, Vanguard) and will be working in a corp fin related role again next summer. On a personal level, I don't mind the work I have been doing, however I don't see myself working in corp fin after I graduate and would like to work in an ER role. I am wondering what are some ways in which I could possibly make the switch over to ER (ideally within the firm that I am currently at) and skills that are transferable to that role. Thanks!
