Big 4 valuations > IB

Hi all,

New member here, looking for some advice as to whether this career path can lead me to investment banking.

Current situation:

Just accepted offer for KPMG deal advisory working in one of the following service lines: Valuations, Restructuring, Due Dil. Graduating from Russell Group university with 2:1 Based in Canary Wharf with KPMG and will come out ACA qualified.

Wanting to move into M&A advisory with an IB and wondering if anyone has any tips/ideas If this is feasible? I am locked into 3 years with KPMG but thinking long term.

Thanks,
