Best way to lateral from MM/LMM

I'm starting as a first year analyst for a MM IB after graduation this summer in m&a. They're a no name shop but have decent deal flow.

I want to ultimately lateral to a larger, more well known bank in a year or two.

How likely is this goal and what are some of the ways I could best go about doing this?

Any advice or insight is welcomed, thank you!
