RX Consulting to RX Banking Help

For background, I am two-years out of school. Went to a target. Currently in an RX Consulting group at a T3/T4 shop (I guess?). It's not Big Three, but I've worked on some notable company-side engagements during my time. I want to try something else and I am thinking about RX Banking - how do I approach this? For the record, I barely interviewed for my current firm and haven't really gone through any formal recruiting in my life. Do I just wait for recruiters to reach out / reach out to recruiters and then study for interviews? Any general advice?

Got a couple of questions to clear up your situation, bc I'm a bit confused.

  1. How exactly did you get to your current role with barely any interviews. I understand being from a target, but how even does that work? Wdym you've never gone through any formal recruiting ever? (this is more for my own curiosity lol)
  2. Have you done any stints in IB / PE before, or any relevant investor side work?
  3. Perhaps the most important one, there's a world of difference between the tiers when it comes to exit opps, so would appreciate some more clarity on where you fall. Generally the list is T1: FTI, Alix, A&MT2: BRG, Ankura, Province T3: Portage Point, Huron, Teneo T4: Accordion,  B Riley, Meru, Riveron T5: B4 RX T6: others
