I am looking to transition into global markets side of CM, with preference to FX, Sec lending or fixed income (but ultimately open to any desks as a starting point).
I have around 7 yoe in transaction banking sales covering financial institutions (mostly publicly traded global banks).

What are some things I can do to make the transition other than networking and coffee chats? Is there a desk that would best suit my background more than others?
