Exit Ops out of CRA - possible jump to IB?

I've recently accepted an offer to join one of the Big 3 CRAs (S&P/Moody's/Fitch) as a ratings analyst. Go to a non target, lib arts background.

What are the usual exit ops out of a CRA? Is it possible to jump ship to IB- if so, how hard is it, what's usually the timeline for this, and what groups within a CRA are better positioned to do so? Would appreciate any insight!
