Exit Opportunities Financial Analyst at a Non-Finance Firm??

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know if it is possible for someone in a Financial Analyst role in the finance department at a top marketing implementation firm to switch into banking or just financial services in general?

My future goal is to end up working for a bank, but because of my low GPA, that opportunity is limited for me as a recent grad. I plan on working my way into it in the near future. Is it hard to move into financial services from a non-finance firm? Any insight will be appreciated. Thank you.
