Going from BB Trading to PWM

Hey,

I've been doing derivs trading for 6 years now at a bank BB, and I'm thinking of making the career switch over to PWM. I'm interested in targeting UHNW PWM or PWM at someplace like GS/JP/MS. I currently have a CFA, so would anyone be free to talk about either their move to PWM or advise me on how best to do this? 

Thanks
