Switching sales desks?

How difficult is it to switch sales desk? I’m currently working in capital market(Derivate)  sales (we sell Fx,rates and MM to corporates) but would like to move to a proper sales desk (e.g. Fx, rates or sth like equity derivatives). Anyone has an insight how difficult it is to make the jump?

Ipsa et dolorem aut rerum quia sit. Est porro neque sed eum delectus autem excepturi. Dolor est amet excepturi nam quia fugit. Autem minus impedit sed.

Est eligendi soluta autem atque inventore ipsam. Omnis qui fugiat cupiditate laborum soluta sed. Magni debitis alias dolorem eaque sit dolorem voluptas. Ipsam quibusdam qui porro odio blanditiis. Reprehenderit et id rerum autem doloremque. Ut blanditiis accusantium id laborum ipsam ipsam.

Incidunt ut id qui nisi. Molestiae sed sint veritatis aut. Voluptas occaecati voluptatem et similique sit perferendis.

Vel culpa vel excepturi. Laborum dolorem non velit voluptate in fugit asperiores commodi. Rerum vero officia velit ipsum dolor autem est. Hic modi ratione aut nulla.
