How to lateral from LevFin to M&A?

Currently an A1 at a MM in a LevFin group.

I'm honestly tired of working on financing transactions and would like to get some tangible deal experience in M&A.

How would you lateral to an M&A shop (BB, MM or EB) with a LevFin background? What are some of the firms that might be receptive to this change? How likely is this to happen? Lateral recruiting timelines?
