What is the best way to lateral in AM?

I started in AM a year ago after a 3 year stint in IB. 1 year in, I am being reallocated to a less interesting sector and I am not particularly happy with the way things are going. WLB sucks and compensation is way below market in a Tier 1 market.

Since job openings are relatively rare, I wanted to ask how to land a Tier 1 AM gig.
