From WM to IB

Hello guys, I have just graduated from my bachelor in a "semi-target" BS in France and I have joined the WM Structured lending team of a BB for 6 months. The job is very interesting, however I would like to use this experience as a way to make it into M&A, Restructuring or DCM (not sure yet). I am not sure that my internship will be enough relevant as it is WM and not IB. What would be now for me the best way to make the switch ? Thank you
