Big4 Modelling Senior Analyst > IB: What Level?

Commenced career in Big4 modelling as a graduate. Now ~ 3 years exp and recently made Senior. Circa. 40 engagements, incl. 4 transactional and >10 as principle model builder. Strong on all metrics; performance (revenue and client feedback), technical, academic (incl. recent CA completion) and team.

Considering a move to IB, ideally BB or top tier boutique in a generalist m&a team (flexible however depending on opps on offer). I have received mixed feedback on an appropriate level of seniority to be targeting, ranging from graduate - associate. Would very much welcome opinions - what is realistic/what is aspirational?

Currently aust based but mobile and very open to a move to london, so aust/london based perspectives would be particularly helpful!

Many thanks in advance
