Exits from smaller lesser known boutiques?

In process of interviewing with a boutique w $300b in transactions and 3 offices (don't know if that helps to add context or not on the bank). My goal is to get into corp dev at a f500 or a tech company - would I have to try to lateral to an EB first and then go to corp dev or would staying at the original bank first be fine.Context: rising senior with no internship experience in banking (corporate finance at tech co), 3.8 gpa, T5 school
