Working in KYC....how do I transfer into S+T or at least MO

Title says it... I'm in a two year program in my second year at a BB. My first year was essentially data entry so nothing transferable at all, and my second year is within KYC/AML. After our two years, we have the option to find a job through our internal job site or stay with the KYC team. I've been reaching out to alumni within our bank in sales, and am trying to find a way after these two years to get out of ops and into something more fulfilling.

Anyone have any inspiring stories on moving from working in something completely unrelated in BO to a FO role? Would love to hear how you did it and what steps you took
