AM -> IBD

Just got to desk at a top tier LO AM firm and basically decided (after a few months) that I want to keep my options open and do a few sell side (M&A) years instead. Obviously I'm not going to be able to apply for off-cycle internships (and wouldn't quit without a job) so is there a way I can network to get interviews or should I apply for entry level analyst positions? Any help would be great:)
