How to move from asset management to IBD at a BB?

Hi Monkeys, I'm a grad at a BB with a month and a half of experience as an investment analyst in the AM division. Having spoken to friends in IBD, I feel I would love to move to LevFin specificially. 

Should I reach out to VP's or above in LevFin for coffee? How many coffee's / lunch before I mention I want to switch? How do I approach that conversation? 

Appreciate any help!
