Going from Tier 2 Consulting to MBB after graduation

As the title says, when would be the right time to apply from an A/AC/BA position at one of the T2 firms (OW, LEK, S&, EYP, K) to an A/AC/BA position at MBB?

Should one wait a year or two to make this move, or do it as soon as possible (i.e. straight after starting with a T2, with only few months of experience?)

Thanks!
