Transitioning to PE from Commercial Banking

Started my first full time role as a junior analyst in commercial banking back in August at a regional bank in Houston after wrapping up school earlier that month. Looking to move into PE or IB around the end of ‘24/beginning of ‘25. Need tips/recs on how to move into the space as an analyst and where to apply.
