Jump to Commercial Banking

Currently looking for a switch in my career and possibly contemplating commercial banking. Just wondering how difficult the move will be for me, and would appreciate any thoughts / recommendations to get ready for recruiting.

Background of myself:

Graduated in 2021 from a non-target. Worked one year at a small regional wealth management firm doing a mixture of tasks, but mostly focused on portfolio management and trade execution. Transitioned out and landed a job in a private equity FoF. Have had limited exposure in secondary and co-investment deals as well. Currently do all sort of portfolio management, risk analysis, and diligence work for investment opportunities.

If I were to make a switch should I target starting off as a Credit Analyst II /III or should my expectations be lower/ higher? Any thoughts on courses / licenses that will help with the move?
