A few observations:

You're currently a junior applying to transfer. Make no mistake: you are behind. By the time you enroll in your new school, you will either be a second semester junior or a senior. By now, most of your competition will have already secured summer internships for next summer, and those junior summer internships are absolutely crucial to securing a full-time role upon graduation.

I work in IT now and hate it. I have worked alongside IT guys at AM firms and shops around me on some jobs and I know I would like to avoid that route. Operations is far more appealing. I would imagine it just takes time and good networking to make this move? How difficult is that?

depends on what you want...
trading? then use IT to get into algo trading.
banking? there is  no real natural segway other than an MBA (you can try networking to get into an analyst class thru a backdoor...but this is hard)
