Possible to break into Private Banking?

Was curious if I could get any insight on if it’s possibly to break into Private Banking.

I’m graduating this next week with a degree in Financial Planning from a non target school.

Since 18 I’ve been in retail banking. I was a teller then customer service rep and for the last two years been a relationship banker working full time while also going to school.

I currently have my SIE,6, 63 and state life insurance.

I wanted to know if based on my resume if it’s possible to break into private banking and also when do any openings for analyst typically come about? I’ve applied to some PWM roles but finding any Private Banking analyst openings at JPM for example is impossible. I see some associate roles but that isn’t achievable based on my experience I’m assuming.

Any insight would be great. Thanks!
