IB to S&T Advice

I am currently an investment banking analyst at a small boutique firm on the west coast. I generally like my day to day work; however, I have always had a passion for markets and trading. Especially high yield fixed income trading, I love it. I manage my own HY portfolio and am always watching the pricing action throughout the day.

Despite this, I chose investment banking based on advice from mentors (job stability, pay, prestige, etc.). Now that I have some experience under my belt, I am realizing that I do not want to live my life playing it too safe. I have always been a calculated risk taker. 

Emotional decision making rarely turns out well, and I am emotionally invested in this idea. So, I am posting on here to get a disinterested third-party view. Is this a bad idea?

If not, how should I best go about this?

For context, my firm does not have a S&T group. I'm activley networking, but is there anything else I can do to improve my odds?

Thanks!
