Audit to IB/CorpFin chances

Hi everyone,

I recently accepted an offer with a Big 4 firm in a tier 1 city due to the lack of other options. My goal was IB, but obviously I fell short. Is there anyone who has tips on making the move from audit to IB within their first year or two? I go to a semi-target and plan on getting the CPA (because they pay for it) but realize it won’t help that much. Does anyone know how I could make the move without having to get a MBA? :(
