Economist to Macro, Rates, FX, Commodities trading transition

Hi all,

I work as an Economist at a mid sized Non-bank with Previous experience in Equity Derivatives Prime Brokerage at a BB. I wanted to know would it be possible to me to make a transition to Macro, Rates, FX, Commodities trading at a reasonably good shop.

I have a good math, econ, quant background from a semi-target college if that's relevant.
