Moving from Big 4 Australian Bank (S/T) to Investment Bank

Hi Guys,

I was hoping someone in the know could shed some light on this issue for me.

I was wondering how often and how difficult it is for people working in sales/trading/strategy at a big 4 Australian bank to transition over to associate levels performing the same role at investment banks after 1.5 – 2 years?

Thanks!
