Consulting to IBD: Which Projects look best for recruiting?

If you were a consulting firm (say S& or Kearney) and you knew you wanted to lateral into IBD in M&A or coverage, which projects should you try your best to get staffed on to maximize your chances? For example, would becoming hyper specialized in one industry group (Retail) and doing all your consulting projects in retail better position you for a FT Retail Coverage group interview than specializing in Financial Services consulting?

And if you recommend specializing in a specific industry over financial services consulting, which industry do you recommend?

Thank You.
