Moving from Credit Research at BB in London to Frankfurt

Hi WSO community,
I currently work in credit research in London at a BB and will likely move to Frankfurt next year (am native German).
Just as a background: after uni in the US (non-core, but top 20-ish), I started at the same BB in the US in Wealth Management (WM), moved to London and continued working in WM (but a more technical role) before then moving to credit research in the IB at the same BB >1 year ago.
I potentially plan on moving to Frankfurt next year; I would be interesting in hearing your thoughts on:

1.) Given the above, how do you see the chances of moving to IBD/lev fin/private debt (or something similar) in Frankfurt without taking a step a back (i.e. moving on the same level (was already forced to go one year back when I moved from WM to IB))? Any other advice and or insights on that topic (aside from the obvious)?
2.) Given the above, how do you see the chances of moving to a top consulting firm (management or strategy) in Frankfurt without taking a step a back? Any other advice and or insights on that topic?
3.) If anyone working in Frankfurt can share any advice regarding opportunities, good shops and/or general job search taking my background into consideration, I would highly appreciate it.

Thanks a lot in advance for any insights and help!
