Advice: Transitioning from Wealth Management to Sales and Trading

Hi all:

I am looking for some advice regarding a transition from Wealth Management to Sales and Trading.

My educational background is in Computer Information Systems and Data Analytics. I have been in wealth management at a Bulge Bracket bank for over 2 years after graduating and would love to see myself transition to a bit more technical role as my passion lies in trading and relationship management.

Has anyone had experience with a lateral move like this or some type of transition?

I'd greatly appreciate any guidance on how to approach this along with developing any new skills required.

Thank you
