IB to BD?

Has anyone actually done this kind of transition? Feel like business development is an interesting sales career, and my bd friend who is ~2.5 years into his job, also first job, makes not that much less compared to me (in a bank that underpays a lot) due to his cumulative commissions closing small deals
