Asset Management Research to Boutique IB - Has this been done?

As the title says, wondering if anyone has made the transition from Asset Management in a Research role to a Boutique Investment Bank. Way out of undergrad at this point and not really interested in wasting time in an MBA.

Wondering if anyones done this or has transitioned into IB from other backgrounds before. Would love some colour/insight on how to make this happen via networking, modelling courses, and anything else in between.

Thanks!
