Transferring from Governmental Finance to Private Sector Bank

Hello All,

I'm currently working as a Budget Analyst/Financial Specialist for the Dept of Defense and I have done so for around 4 years. I am also a CFA Charter holder and have a B.S. in Economics.

I am interested in switching over to a reputable bank/consulting firm as a financial/business analyst. If anyone has advice, opinions, observations and/or experiences regarding helping me do so, I would be truly grateful.

Thank you all for your time.
