PwC Pathway - Private Clients to Banking and Capital Markets

I'm finishing my first year (4 more months to be a year) as a Graduate Financial Auditor at a State's Audit Office. I've decided that I don't want to continue my career in public sector and am looking to apply for an Assurance Associate position at Big 4 (preferably PwC Sydney). My goal is to work in Structured Finance Group lines thus hope to get into Assurance in Banking and Capital Services. I'm just very concerned about my current expertise/experience as it might be hard to go straight to Banking and Capital Services (and/or Financial Services Assurance), also as I haven't seen lots of the Associate level for this line avertised (none currently actually) I'm having a feeling that this is a pretty competitive lines to get in.

What are my chances of getting straight to Banking and Capital Services? Also, would it be possible to go for Assurance in Private Clients lines then make the transition to BCS? What types of client profiles I'll be getting if I'm in Private Clients?
